It's amazing how many people either give you a thumbs up, a waive, or they stop right next to you to say 'cool car!' or 'hey! I had one of those too!" Seriously I've been getting this about every couple days on my 10 min commute. Our new office girl commented
Even when I was limping through a parking lot with no accelerator cable and oil burning off the exhaust I had a guy in a FedEx truck roll along with me saying how he loved the car and all these new ones weren't as cool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) So apparently these are cool cars.. I take it this isn't out of the norm for all of you.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |

Well, let's preface this by saying that it's not my car, it's Dad's (SLITS) car. Hopefully I haven't said "my car" too many times. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Agree I have been getting a lot of thumbs up driving my 914. I went to Blackhawk cars and coffee last month and pulled next to a kid in a Honda and he said what is that. I said a Porsche 914, he said that's cool. I sometimes feel like I'm riding in a 68 classic nova or 55 Chevy the way people stare or drive by and give me thumbs up.

There were a couple old ladies that walked by me at the apt all confused about what it was.. Studebaker?

I'm noticing more and more teen age kids pointing and looking; "look! an old Porsche". Very surprising that they know what it is....

I drive mine quite a bit, so everyone in my little town has probably seen it. But I still get comments and questions when I get gas or I drive to Nashville. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif)
We went down to Broadway after the Titans / Vikings game a few weeks back and we got more action than the Honky Tonks did as we drove thru. Even the cops directing traffic walked over to ask questions..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

I came out of the local grocery store one afternoon with a couple 20 year olds hanging out next to my 914. They introduced themselves and stated they had been chasing me down for two weeks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) They wanted to know what kind of car it was and thought it was really cool.
At a traffic light next to a new Mustang, I noticed a guy from across the intersection give a thumbs up. I figured he meant the Mustang until he pointed directly at me and gave another (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) Driving to Okteenerfest a guy in an SUV next to me revved his engine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) When I glanced over, he gave a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) Just part of driving a 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

One day I was parked next to a Ferrari California at my kids school and a girl walked by and said "nice car". Both the Ferrari owner and myself turned around but she was looking at my car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I have many many stories if people commenting on my 914. Including it being called many other model names. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) And you will continue to gain stories as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toast.gif) |

Enjoy the new connections with people that you get to meet through a classic car. It's good stuff.
