914's - is there a correlation between toys and 914's?, Did you build models or make go-carts or play with hot wheels as a kid Options

OK - I look at pictures of these freshly painted 914's (prior to trim and such), and engine swaps, and customizations, and I can only think to myself: Oh golly, I am still building and playing with scale car models !!
I mean really, when I was growing up I wasn't allowed go-carts, but I had a HUGE hot-wheels collection, and electric car race track, but I spent a lot of free hours (too many) building scale models. (What do you mean glue causes brain damage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) ), With models, it was even to the point where I would chop and channel and put in electric lights (with an AC/Adapter) and do custom interiors, and swap engines (where they weren't always susposed to go) and everything !

So, without any great meaning from this poll, I am just curious - do you think the 914 specifically might be a result of this ? Or more specifically, do you feel sometimes looking at the 914, above all other cars, you are working on scale models again ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I started off with normal Legos and then moved on to building and programing Lego Mindstorms for compitition. I also used to play with lots of RC cars (none of the really expensive stuff though) and used to work with my Dad whenever he was fixing anything. I loved to work in wood and still do.
