You bought another 914? Group: Benefactors Posts: 7,617 Joined: 27-June 03 From: Portage, IN Member No.: 865 Region Association: None |
Looking for video on 914s I came across this vintage video I'm guessing from the late 70's link ---> 914 wreck
Turn down your volume weird music. Anyway from 1:45 - 2:20 shows a badly wrecked 914. Looks to be a 74. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Attached image(s) |

...don't think that was survivable. Stating the obvious, of course.

I remember when that happened. I think it was someone who was on this web site a long time ago. Anybody remember this?

Ouch.
Even when you're the good driver, something terrible can happen. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) No....not the same car. I met the guy in that video at the G and R who got rear ended. Was taking her to court and I hope he got something out of it. He was really lucky to survive at all. Really nice guy. |

He was really lucky to survive at all. Really nice guy. Glad to hear he made it OK. Just curious if he lost a kidney, or was paralyzed as mentioned.... tough to think anybody would make it though a wreck like that in a 914 without something residual.... |

Ouch. That's painful to see a LE in that condition.
What'd you do? |

I'm yet to drive mine, but I'm assuming you have to drive 914s like you do a motorcycle: assume you are invisible.

I'm yet to drive mine, but I'm assuming you have to drive 914s like you do a motorcycle: assume you are invisible. Assume you are a target. I had a driver in heavy traffic look me right in the eye and realize he could take my spot in the lane by sheer force, which he then did. |

When driving a 914... be paranoid.
Assume everyone is actively trying to crash into you. Because they are. It has been proven to me over and over. Keep your head on a swivel. Most people are not "drivers", they are commuters. They are fiddling with the radio, talking on the phone, or TEXTING. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) I always drive like I am invisible. Oh.. and did I say... Be Paranoid. One other thing. It makes you realize why motorcyclists ride the way they do. I had a conversation with a couple of bikers at a gas station, and they told me that they sometimes don't even see other bikes or very small cars like ours. |
