Today marks our 16th wedding anniversary. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) We met 19 years ago on Nov 17th at an SCCA autocross. She and I were in the same class. She had the 74 1.8 that we still have (I got to drive it to work today) and I had a 79 924. She cleaned my clock in the AX. We started dating and I got to drive her 914. After that I had to have one. We have been married for 16 years, and like I said at Parade when she beat me..... "I have been chasing her tail for 19 years, and I still have not caught it."
So, you can blame Betty for me being here. She got me hooked on 914s. |

Congradulations! I like hearing about success stories. Our american drive for always wanting more, more, more, crushes couples early hopes and dreams like ripe grapes. It's easy to loose sight of each other. Make this day as special as it is. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

QUOTE(redshift @ Nov 20 2004, 12:02 AM) Congrats Clay! I have only met one woman who thought a 914 was cool, and she just liked to jump the doors for entry.. Best to you both! You are lucky! Miles She won't do that... She even yells at me when I forget and close the door by pushing on the window glass. But having a 914 lover for a wife has it's advantages. I don't have to explain why I need a part, and I always have a willing pair of hands when I need some help. Then she runs around yelling "I fixed it! I fixed it".... gee thanks Pam for getting her started on THAT (sarcasm). Plus she NEVER complains when I go to help a friend out with his 914. Thanks for all the good wishes. She is definitely a keeper. |

No problem, Clay....wait until I give her a few hints about what to say when you spend too much time on 914club. You'll REALLY like those (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Always happy to help.....and congrats on your anniversary. |

That's a GREAT story.
How did I know my girl was right? When I met my wife (much younger and not a car girl), I drove her to dinner in my 914 (when it was still a /4 and basically unmodified). About a mile down the road, she says 'this is a really cool car. What is it?' Needless to say: Sold! We've been together for five years now. Attached thumbnail(s)
