Ok, Porschefiles....
Use this thread to bash non-Porsche powered 914's. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) |

I love the suby conversion. Scott and Terry Thatcher drove his from coast to coast. He pounded that to death. His was done long before Renagade ever started. Infact I think Renegade Scott looked over Thatchers car when we were in Vegas.
For me it's not about the money. It's a hobby. A way to free my mind from the things that haunt me. Cars and working on them is theropy. I can't help what I do. I think about things. They cause me to stir at night. I need to act on them. There is no amount of money that would stop me from being creative. I need to do it or I will become an empty shell of a man. If I bought a CW 914 tomorrow I would cut it up and make it better by the end of the year. I wouldn't want to... But I could stop myself. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I have such mixed feelings when I see the variations of bastardized 914s that have been sliced and diced over the years. On one hand, it makes me sad that such a neat car has, in my opinion, been ruined--often abandoned to the pages of ebay. Sometimes you have to look close to see if there really was a 914 under all the mods! And I realize, mods are a slipery slope...I'm just as guilty...I've changed motors, added center consoles, etc...am I really any better than the guy or gal who likes to play with their blow torch and welder? But mostly, I have to agree with Rick, that these 914s are just a great way to have fun, relax, and be creative. In that respect, who cares what mods you do to your car...it is yours and everyone has different tastes...that's OK. As long as your enjoying what your'e doing, and not delusional about ever getting your money out of your project, I say, all-the-power-to-you! Bottom line...whether your enjoying driving these fun little cars, which to me is the greatest kick of all, or just having a blast releasing your creative juices doing what America's car enthuisasts have done for decades...you're doing just fine. Whatever floats your boat...don't just fixer-up, throw a car cover on it and not drive it. |
