No combination of levers and fans will ever un-fog your windshield. You don't care if your car is worth $3K or $12K...you're not selling. People ask you "what year is that" or "how fast will it go" but never "what kind of mileage do you get" (which you don't know and don't care anyway). You don't care if 911's wave at you or not because your car is unique and EVERY other 914 will wave to you...or pull you over to talk.

Your car may or may not have sails and are thinking of installing or removing them.

People say (for real):
"That car looks really different off the jackstands." (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif)

or, after a ride:
"Whoah. I guess it really is a sportscar." (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/icon8.gif)

Also:
They don't see you at the drive thru until you say "down here." (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)

You like having the Bastard Porsche. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif)

You defend you car as only part Volkswagen- tell the story that Dr. Porsche designed the VW so all porsches have that heritage.

You have lied to people who haven't seen your car that "it's a six".

People tell you that "it's not a real Porsche"

You've thought about entering a show for Volkswagens- where you might get more respect.

You know you're a 914 owner if you stand up in the car at drive-throughs.

... if you keep an extra ½ of a 914 in your 914 as "just in case" parts.

... if you have the 'emergency contact list' on speed-dial when driving cross-country.

You know your a 914 owner:

...when you have to add 10 mhp to whatever the speedo says cuz your AX tires change the ratio.

...you can't stop fantasizing about your 914 and yet you also own a beautiful 911 which is languishing in your garage. OR you buy/drive a 911 just til your 914 is ready.

...you USED to be into VW bugs.

...when you search the sunday paper for a sale on jackstands.

or

...you go on vacation, and the first thing you do in the morning is check the classifieds section of the hotel newspaper for another 914.

or

...know from memory how much jackstands cost at 3-4 different retailers.

You can sit down in your car, role down the window, put your arm out and touch the ground. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

You can get your four bolt wheel on quicker than a NASCAR tire changer.

You buy kitty litter a couple of sacks at a time, and you don't even own a cat.

While in the midst of cleaning out your purse, you stop and the thought actually goes through your head..."hmmm, can't take that out, I might need it to fix the car...".

. . . . you can make the shift from first to second perfectly every time, getting it snicked in nice and smooth without hitting fourth . . . which is why you won't let your spouse, BF/GF or your brother-in-law drive your 'teener -- ever!
