Inspiration Options

[purple]

I was sitting in traffic in my MINI yesterday and saw a yellow flash and a familiar targa bar... I thought to myself "self, did you just see a 914?" I was disappointed that he turned down the street perpendicular to mine and I couldn't see him go. To my elation, he pulled into the gas station next to me and I was able to feast my eyes on the most gorgeous 914 I've ever seen with my own two eyes.

It was in bright yellow, completely unrestored, with AC 72 914, looked new as the day it was made. The gentelman driving was named Victor and I basically gushed all over his car. Every detail was in place, and I mean everything was there. I wish I'd taken pictures, because this thread is worthless without it, but that's besides the point.

The point is that it gave me inspiration to see this gorgeous car that this guy drives EVERY DAY. It inspired me to keep up with my own 914 and make it perfect. Damn the time it takes to save the money. Damn the expense, I want to make mine perfect. Maybe not a concourse winner, but something I can be proud of!

Focus: When were you inspired to keep your project going? What was the one thing or sequence of events that kept your flagging motivation up? Did it pay off? Share stores (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
