My First time Driving a 914, pleasurable experience Options

[DrifterJay]

OK. Been waiting for a suitable time to write. Well, I have been making small talk with this guy that lives around the corner from me about his 914. His wife wants him to sell it..but for obvious reasons hes procrastinating..hes got a for sale sign laying upside down in the car with the incorrect number...Ok to the point. The car is the first and last teener I have ever seen. I am only 17 years old, I havent lived yet. I never knew of this car until a month ago..and since then have done like 40 hours of reading and other bs. Well, I look and the carpet and basically every concievable spot and their is virtually no rust!! The battery tray is pretty good minor surface rust, but beneath it is no rust whatsoever. Right rear suspension is perfect. Headlight gutters are clean. Headlights work. oh yeah, its a 72 1.7 black with 74k miles. Car sat for 15 years until the guy acquired it a year ago. So the paint is faded..I dont give a flying hoot..Also the fuel injection was toasted. He replaced it with dual webber 40s. And replaced all the belts, hoses, and new tires. It needs minor motor work to get running properly, doesnt need a full rebuild. Everything is stock..other than a Monza exhaust (i think) that was installed like 85 years ago..all nasty surface rust on that..Well I drove it yesterday for the first time..he let me go with a friend for about 30 minutes..All I have to say is man, I suck with this tail-shift (or side? which one was the crappy early one?). It felt like a total newb driving it, but I had a blast. Kept going from 1st two fourth..lol. This thing is a blast to drive in sheer comparison to my 02 civic. THANX mom, coulda saved you 16 thousand by having you by me this car instead...Well..all I can say is that I cant wait...And after finding this website, I am ready to jump right in. Every one here is very polite and informative. Even that ahole Brad...just playin...Oh hey, only 2,500 for the car. Oh well..im done writing, was bored decided to show you how lousy I am at expressing my enthusiasm.
