Think she stole my repair list. left it on the kitchen table this morning and when I got home it was gone.
Now if I had a spare rubber kit laying around what would I do with it?

Are you sure the car wasn't abandoned in her driveway when she moved. Any pictures of the car showing condition prior to it being stolen?


I know im cynical and a jerk but I just wonder why 2 seemingly well off people, one who owns an auto repair shop, are soliciting donations for parts to repair a car that their insurance probably paid for years ago.

I don't think it is her soliciting donations. Seems like guys here just want to help them get it back on the road. It's a nice story & sounds like she is a nice lady. If you don't have one of the parts to contribute no biggie. They will be putting plenty of money into bringing it back to life. This is just another time when our community is trying to help someone. It's not about the parts or the money (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

We also have 2 terminal members. Funny, they haven't even asked for a nickel. Why aren't we addressing their needs? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Not a jab at you Rusty. It's just eating at me. Rant over. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

well I agree , sort of. but the 914 members you mention are selling things in the classifieds, my suggestion is buy their parts with a gratuitous shipping and handling fee.... Or send em a get well card ..life is not that complicated..at this stage...

as for parts for this person ...she can have em if I got em ....why because Im throwing em out.. there are way more parts than cars...

If I ever ask for a part..I hope it is reciprocating...



It would be nice if she did join up and share her 914 enthusiasm...

Hey, I'm the first to admit that the people on this board help me out more than I deserve. I just asked a question and had (my own) opinion. I thought that was still allowed.

Uh oh. I feel a time out coming. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) If we 3 get a time out can we please have separate detention rooms. We're much too opinionated to be placed together. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Sure, have you opinion. No repercussions. My opinion is that we're trying to help out a fellow 914 owner and saying that they don't DESERVE help is a shitty thing to do.

She needs parts because she is not experienced at sourcing them and it is a very old car.

Her getting her car back is a feel good story all its own. Our helping her get it back to its former glory is a testament to what this community is made of.

I wonder if, when you're driving down the road you wouldn't pull over and help someone in a 2015 Jaguar but you would pull over for someone in a 74 Pinto? Why does one person deserve human kindness while another should fend for themselves?

Be more human... If not, just be less opinionated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Great 914 story! Who are the terminal members? (only if they want us to know) I have been out of the loop here. Sometimes people ask for help. Sometimes others are compelled to reach out and do something to make life a little better for someone else. No one is making anyone help. I say find a cause that can make a difference to you and go with it. One thing I caution about though. Never push yourself onto someone's life unless they are a willing recipient. Some people just want their privacy. Respect that.

I don't see it that way but I will not ask anymore questions about this story. My apologies.
