is that a 33 or 34? Nice, I like the suicide doors. Was it a flatty?
Dad's doing a 32 roadster, I haven't made up my mind, but I'm thinking some flavor of pickup 30-35ish.

Carry a disposable camera with flash. Above all else, get the VIN. Even the licence plate number would help. Next to the VIN we need the numbers off of the Karmann badge. I'm only a few hours away from Detroit, so I can go document the car if the owner is willing.

Whatever green is on that Carrera GT 911 side decal. Somebody on the list kinda figured it out last year, I don't remember now what color code that is.

Geoff
oh yeah, Hideous Green

One thing I noticed was that there was an aftermarket passenger side mirror painted matching green. Didn't see the drivers side. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

So, I'm on my way home from work today. The gas station closest to my house is selling regular for 2.09 9/10 which I've found nowadays to be a bargain so I stop to fill 'er up. As I'm watching the numbers on the pump whizz by, I hear an unusual exhaust tone coming from behind me. When I turned around, there it was again zippin' by. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) This time I was only about 4 blocks from home. I am definately gonna have to start carrying a camera in my car.

Psssssssssssssssssssst... don't anyone tell Tom but this "is" Michigan afterall. There are no more 914's left in Michigan. The last one rusted away back in 1996. I'm afraid we have a more serious problem here. Tom's not feeling well and he needs our help. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Anyone know a good therapist in that area? When one of our own is in trouble it's our obligation to help. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Naaaaaa... they didn't get galvinized bodies until 76. There's no pre-76 911's in Michigan either (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) My guess is a Lotus... had a Ford engine and a fiberglass body. Custom made for Michiganders.

This is a link to the Porsche 914 SIG site. If you look at the bottom of the page you'll see that Michigan ranks 3RD in 914's behind Texas ( #1 and home state of the web site moderator) and California. Pretty impressive, I think, for a rustbelt state. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/finger.gif)

Stand by for photos of MI 914's to be taken at the annual Vintage VW meet this Sunday. Our SMOG group is sending a contingency to represent the NARP division of Karmann (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

Poor Tom... he's delirious. This is like a bad Twilight Zone episode. He even thinks there's a special interest group made up of fellow 914 owners (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

One more thing... Tom, once you put a camera in your car "Grassquatch" will "NEVER" be seen again. Best off chasing him down. Good luck.

Hey, are you guys having a get together in AA August 7th?

I believe it was a 914. There are a whole shitload of them in Michigan. The question is, is it a real Grasshopper or not? Curvie, throw yourself in front of that thing next time you see it. Take one for the team will ya?
