I turned driving age in 1968, and I followed the lead of a friend and got a 63 vw bug. My dad had a vw tranporter (precursor to the king cab pickups) and I loved the fact my whole band could go to a gig, band inside and instruments in the back. My car magazine of choice was Road&Track, and so I was sold on things such as the virtues of IR suspension and Fuel Injection over carbs. For a long time, IMO, the greatness of a car was determined by it's efficiency, comfort, and speed in making the journey from Orange County in So. Cal up 395 to Mammoth for a weekend ski trip. Thus, the 911 was my car of choice, but out of my league at the time. I was excited about the 914 but the reviews were lukewarm at best. (anybody remember Car& Drivers review headline"as a second generation Karmann Ghia it would have brought the house down". So I drove a type 73 type3 squareback for a few years, where I learned how to keep the Djet running.
Finally got my 72 in 1981, then married into my 76 shortly thereafter. Still have them both, and with boards such as this and the Pelican board, am enjoying them as much now as ever, even though they're no longer daily drivers. Something about these cars........
