My 914-6 is a sport utility vehicle. I've hauled everything from dive gear to paint, lumber and tools around in it.

Hell, I probably have used my 914 for more "utility" stuff than must soccer mom SUV owners! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif)

I went tree shopping in whitey!

minor injuries... wow.

if any of us in our 914s had hit a pole, gone through a fence, and rolled down a 50 foot embankment, i think the story would've ended differently.

When I was 23 I moved in my 914. Only took two trips.

Yeah, we'd be spralled over the trunk top crying, why!, why!, why!, and they wouldn't be able to drag us away with a broken leg. Then we'd be picking up parts muttering. I wonder how much a rust free roller's going to cost me? The other guy just said, oh well the insurance company will buy me another one. Hey driver can't this ambulance go any faster?!! What do you have in this heap? Floor it!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Ben, Aaron,

I can't move in my 914 anymore... my stockpile of spare parts is too big. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I have used my teener as my wind surfing suv, with my Yakima roof rack I could carry
my 9' and 8' board 3 masts 3 booms in the trunks and passenger compartment a full quiver of sails and wet suit and harness rigging and tools. Drove to the Columbia river gorge in Washington from Minnesota and back with all my stuff and was even able to drive over 100 through Montana without a problem.
I drove straight through only stopping for potty breaks and fuel, all food consumed via drive through.
