QUOTE(Front yard mechanic @ May 24 2017, 02:07 PM)  Is it just here or are all the beer joints named after animals ( turtle mountain, boxing bear, stumbling steer, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) Heheh it's because there's a marketing craze going for beer serving establishments to mimic the old British public house, or "pub" for short. Since they've been around for centuries, the oldest pubs catered to frequently illiterate folk and had signs with images on them rather than written words (or in addition to them). Sometimes those images included animals, if not often. Hence the way they are named today in the US, though it has been taken to new heights (or depths) in both the US and the U.K. Nico named Turtle Mountain both in homage to this principle and in honor of his Dad who was Native American from the Pueblo Oke Owingeh in northern New Mexico. In his Dad's language (Tewa), the name of the dominant ABQ mountain translates to English as "Turtle Mountain" ... and it was Nico's Dad's name too! The Spanish colonials named it after their word for watermelon, or "Sandia" ... probably because of the color similarity when the famous NM sunsets light them up.

Just joined up here (actually this is my first post) but I'm looking at picking up a 914 as soon as my motorcycle sells, and I also live in Rio Rancho, pretty much across the street from the Fat Squirrel. I didn't realize there were so many local 914s, I rarely see any around!

I live in the 4 Corners (Durango, CO) and ABQ is easy to get to - easier than Denver anyway - nowhere is easy to get to when you live in Durango! But I rarely have a reason to leave other than Porsches and Pinball. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I have three 914s in the herd, one I have owned since 1978 (yeah I am an old guy!) |

I'll be out more driving during the day once school kicks off again in August and both my kids are finally in full-day school. I'll be out of town June and part of July traveling.

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to follow up with my earlier post. The 914 I was looking at ended up selling, and I jumped on another car to have fun in the twisties. It's not an MR chassis, and only has a 4 speed, but if you see someone going around in a faded green MG Midget give a wave, if I see a 914 I guarantee I'll be looking your way! |
