Good steward of planet????? yeah right, if that was the case you should remove the 914 from the road forever. Instead you sell it (for personnel gain) thus allowing that car to be driven by someone that is not a good planet steward.

maybe you should buy some of Gores carbon credits to make up for your lack of stewardship in wanting to sell your car to be used, rather than turning it into an organic compost bin. (besure to drill holes in floor so rain water can drain out, else compost will rot)

Kind of like arnold nazi shwartzni**er selling off his fleet of humvees so he could sauy he is a green driver! Now his fleet (yes fleet) of humvees that he sold are being driven by multible folks, likely totally more miles driven that if arnold had kept them (I figure arnold can only drive one at a time)

Maybe a good steward of the planet that thinks the car hobby is not good, ought to not trash the car hobby as being unstewardly. It is an insult to all the car hobbiests to have that posted.
I though sirandy was done with 914s for good.

At anyrate seems to be fair game to disagree with his off topic sterwardship insults to all the fine car hobbyists, many which do practice good stewardship.

to claim to want to get rid of the car for planet reasons, yet sell it to someone that will continue to keep it on the road is just palin silly. That needs to be pointed out to the owner, he will not be helping the planet any more if he or anyone else drives the car. If he is talking up his enviromentalism yet is still sellng the car to be used rather than destroyed, or permenatly parked, he is fooling himself, it aint helping the planet any, and he should reconize that.

Want folks to take your enviromental commitment seiuosly, then take seriuos action and park/scrap the car, remove it from the car hobby for anyone and all, then you truely will be making a difference.

enviormentalism is fine, as long as what you claim is helpful is realy indeed making a difference. in this case i think not. let the first person to defend this position remove their 914 permantly from the road, and drive somthing that gets better milage, else don't give the 914 car hobby folks the message that we are harming the planet, while one make money off selling his car to someone else so he can feel good about himself and his stewardship.

stewardship is fine, but practice what you preach.

My view is my car hobby has negated the need for me to buy a new car, avoiding the enviromental consiquences that go with throwing out an older car, and buying a new manufactured one. we all have trade off. One can be a good steward, and still be inthe car hobby, any one disagree with that?

WOW! I am actually impressed with the way you managed to put forth your point without insulting anyone directly or using derogatory language (not being sarcastic). I wish you would have done this in the beginning, but such appears not to be your style. Now that we see you have it in you, we have every right to expect you to behave yourself and play nice.

I cant fault you for hi-jacking a thread, I do it often, but I try to be a bit more diplomatic than to attack someones beliefs in their own thread.

This is not the place for a political/global discussion....
