You are a 914 owner if you actually know how to use the heater and ventilation controls

You are a 914-4 owner if you get nervous every time you go over 5000 rpm
You are a 914 owner if you obsess on 5 lug conversions
You are a 914 owner if you know not to leave ignition on to listen to your radio
You are a 914 owner if “momentum car” is part of of your vocabulary
You are a 914 owner when you drive a side shifter tranny and think its an improvement
You are a 914 owner if you know it will cost $25,000 and two years to do a proper 6 conversion.

Sent the contents of this thread to my wife. Here are her additions:


You might own a 914 if when cleaning out your purse you actually think; "no, I need to leave that in just in case the car quits and I need something to fix it with".

You might own a 914 if you always hear a collective "Damn, not them again" from all the 911 drivers, every time you show up for an autocross.

You might own a 914 if you keep a running list of the different kinds of cars people have thought your car was (12 - MG's, 8 - Triumphs, 5 - Fiats, and one Lotus - yeah, I thought he was crazy too!).

You might own a 914 if when you move into a brand, new house you get the garage set up and organized long, LONG before you even start on the house.

This is my favorite;

Your a 914 owner if you can synchronize carbs while standing on the seats pressing the accellerator.

But,
You might be a 914 owner if you put long underwear and gloves on before you go for a drive in what your wife refers to as the freezmobile.
