You should add another option-- drove one and bought it on the spot. I was into air cooled VW's. Bought my first 914 about 17 years ago. I had liked the look of them since I had first seen them hit the streets as a kid. Had owned and driven about every model AC VW but didn't know much about the 914 except that it was some kind of Porsche design with VW engine (making it economically possible for me to own). Test drove it and had the owner doing a death grip on door pull and seat bolster as I took a circular fwy onramp at about 60-70. VW engine with a 5 speed and could handle like that, yeah OK good enough for me. I owned it for about a year and then life got in the way. When I turned 40 and could have a second car toy I knew what I would get. Been enjoying this one even more than the first with the discovery of this club and all of its enthusiasts and events. John
