My 914 is a quite presentable eye catcher, but compared to when I had my 356 SC, I might as well be driving a Ford Monolith, as far as getting comments on the road. And, to tell you the truth, I like it that way. Can't tell you how many close calls I had with the 356. People were always sneaking up alongside, then blowing their horn to give you a thumbs up. Or trying to yell "It's a '64!" out the window at Interstate speeds. In comparison driving a 914 is like being invisible.

I get many more comments when I'm in my teener than when I'm in my Ghia. I think it's because most people have no idea what a Ghia is, but they recognize, or sense they should recognize, the teener.

QUOTE 'hey! I had one of those too!" I think everybody in the world has owned a 914 at one point or another. I get tired of hearing that! |

QUOTE(7TPorsh @ Sep 29 2016, 08:06 AM) I'm noticing more and more teen age kids pointing and looking; "look! an old Porsche". Very surprising that they know what it is.... Ha, last week I was sitting in my 914 waiting for Sara at the supermarket. A couple walked by the car and the wife said... "Is that a Porsche?" The husband replied yes. She then said "Is it new?" |

Ansbacher I get the honks and such while driving the SS100, it's a bit nerve racking sometimes. |

I was pulling into the valet at the Flamingo here in Vegas, when a guy walked off the curb in front of my 914 and proceeded to blow my car a kiss. Kinda weird but nice compliment.

I think it's because most people have no idea what a Ghia is, but they recognize, or sense they should recognize, the teener. I had the opposite experience between the 914s and Ghias I've owned. In total I'd say I got a lot more comments driving a Ghia, but they were like 99% from women. Either younger women telling me they loved the car and asking what it is, or older women telling me they used to own one. Seriously, if you're into cougars and MILFs, drive a Ghia! It was like a freakin magnet for older women. In contrast, pretty much all the comments I've gotten while driving a 914 were from dudes. |
