I'm older than most of you folks. To prove it, here is my story. After a short time owning a '58 VW Karmann-Ghia convertible, I bought my first Porsche, a '56 356A ($1200) in 1968 (year my daughter was born). In 1970 I stepped up to a new tangerine 914 ($4300 with appearance group, am-fm blaupunkt and chrome wheels). Sold it after 8 months because, as a young school teacher, I couldn't live with new car depreciation. It was the last new car I have ever ownd. Restored a '73 2.0 for my 16 year-old daughter in '84. I have owned over 30 Porsches since that first 356, restoring several, doing my own paint in the garage. Now that I am retired, I have become a 914 "collector". I have a '70 factory six (track car/autocrosser); '70 signal orange 4; '71 tangerine 4 (rare non-appearance group car); and my pride and joy, a phoenix red '74 with 31000 original miles (looks like a new car). I love the little devils!
