It's Tinder. Tinder is not really for "keepers". Yeh , was thinking the same thing Then she told me , I don't drive so come pick me up ... I know on this day and age not everyone has or can afford a car But that was a red flag to me . So I told her I'll have to reschedule Then on my way home I met a hot little number working at von s meat counter . She was smitten with me and drives a white jetta , so got her # and think she will dig the teener OK, So I lost you here. Which one are you going out with? The non-driver ( Mazda)? or the the Jetta girl that knows her way around meat? If It's the Jetta girl, 914 100% dude! This is a no brainer man. Right I'm going no brainer bro |

You said ,it is who I am Single ,no kids , you might be on to something With the whole embrace who you are thing I have the Mazda for just basic daily drive and transportation And sometimes I put two golden retriever s in the back seat Fastest + cheapest + best mpg + reliable car I've ever owned But I see what you mean Ah hah . . . now we're getting somewhere. If you take the Mazda, you have to take the dogs with you. Love me love my dogs - If you take the teener, she's got to love it or she's not worth keeping either. Trust me, if you she doesn't like those things you'll be miserable. She won't change, and if you do it will break your spirit. The thread back from the dead .... Finally found the one who loves / insist we drive the 914 on dates . and loves the dogs too ... Having way more fun in my teener now... ! When your old lady likes the car it gets driven waayyy more (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) |

Gawd...what memories...
When I first got my /6 40+ years ago, that was all I drove. Work, fun, dates... Had 2 females in it with me more than once. Took my then current girlfriend on a 16hr drive to visit my parents out east. While out there we became engaged. I still have her and the car. Both my daughters (now 32 and 25) have ridden in it, but never driven. My wife doesn't get in it very often anymore, it's a bit too low for her now. I also, sadly, don't drive it anywhere near as much... |

They really enjoyed that -- until one or two realized the view they were giving me via my "gentlemanly" way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) |

she should like you for the person you are, not the car you drive.
That said, if she is a practical sort, like an accountant, the Mazda would be it. If she is playful and fun seeking, the 914. If you don’t know, a small sports car might seem dangerous compared to the SUVs next to you on the road, so the Mazda would be the logical choice. If cars come up in the conversation, mention you have a Classic Porsche sports car, and would she be interested in being picked up in it next time. She will either roll her eyes (red flag) or jump your bones on the spot multiple times. When I first met my wife, didn’t show up in my Ur Audi Quattro, but my daily driver. When I later found out she rented a 911 for her 40th birthday, then I rolled out the Audi and then I jumped her bones multiple times. |

My old man used to say "Discretion is the better part of valor", whatever the hell that means (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Mazda for sure, and don't even say the word "Porsche" on the first date. Unless in the course of the date you discover she's a total car nut. IMHO there's value to mystery, so I wouldn't say a word about your car until she makes it to the point of coming to your place. Oh, and be sure to observe how she treats the waitstaff wherever you go to eat, because if the relationship continues, that's how she'll be treating you in a few months. |

Perhaps I'm too old, but can't imagine much hanky-pank happening in a 914, if that's a possibility, take the Mazda lots more room Good times !!

My future wife was with me the night I bought my 914 back in 1973.
She learned to drive a standard on a tail shifter. She still owns an 86. 911. There isn’t much you can’t do in a 914 if you are young and determined. Can’t say the same about the Sunbeam Tiger she had in 1979... |

Back it the mid 80's i had a Fiero GT, really cute car but we started carpooling to a facility kinda far away & i needed more than a 2 seater. Kid with his family came to look at the car & I commented to his mother that It didn't lend itself to much love making.. Well, they bought the car. The Fireo has a very tall center console, that's where the gas tank resides. |

It’s Tinder. You get one date. Don’t overthink it.

When I was in High School, I started dating my wife of 39 years. My car was a Ford Pinto, and even then we called it the "blow up car", knowing that if we were ever rear ended, the cars would become Roman Candles. I was mowing my neighbor's lawn one afternoon, and he approached me and asked if I was going to the school prom soon with my girlfriend. When I told him I was, he informed me that it just wasn't right to take her on this big date in a Pinto. He had just purchased a new silver 914 and he offered it to me to use to take her to the dance! I couldn't believe it, and neither could she when I pulled up in this little racy Porsche to take her out for the big night!. My generous neighbor continued to let me use the 914 whenever I had a significant date night, and I will be forever grateful to him. After we were married, my wife and I always said that whenever we had a little extra coin someday, we would pick up a 914. We finally made it financially, and my wife and son went out and bought a nice yellow one and surprised me with it! When I told my friends that my wife bought my 914 for me, they asked where they could get one. I said "A car like this?". And they said "No, we can get the car anywhere, we want to know where to get a wife that will buy us a sports car!". Good luck, she's pretty special. I'm not so sure I would lend out my 914 today to some punk 16 year old kid like I was then! My neighbor was one of my heroes!
