Actually, he was pretty cool, but 914s never came up. He passed me on the road the other day (happens a lot in my diesel Benz) and waved. |

I haven't seen that ever happen at a Bay Area 914 gathering.
That is more a function of driver and car preparation. Don't fool yourself into thinking that the 914 is something that is it not. |

Sorry I love the 914... but I've got to agree with anthony on this one. A 911 can be FAST. A 911 can kick a 914's butt... and vica versa depending on size of motor and driver skill yet I still sold my 911 to fund my 914 because that is the one I like most (and could not afford both) I didn't do it because the 914 was faster. brant |

well first i need to say...i never said the 914 is better than a 914... i said they were passing 911's but there were some very fast and powerful 914s that day.

Last night I spoke to a 911 owner in the church parking lot, I approached him and said nice things about his light blue metallic SC a very beautiful car with the turbo look and he started telling me how he has been tracking the car with the local club. As we spoke he pointed out to me some cold start problems he was having and I started making suggestions to the cause and fix to his problem, He responded how do you know about Porsches, I told him I have a 914 with a turbocharged engine like his in it, His jaw just about dropped he didnt know much about 914s other than he knew my car is lighter and must be a monster.
We exchanged business cards and I had an email from him this morning. I think 911 owners get it. Newbies dont. |

As we all know there are many different types of Porsche owers. There are the DIY types, there are the track types, the AX types, the concours types, and then there are the types that bought their car because it's a status symbol and the only PCA events they do are the 'how to wax your car' tech session and the wine country tour. By and large though the Porsche snobs are far outnumbered especially if you are talking about aircooled Porsches. Newer Porsches will obviously attract a much different crowd that has a lot of money.
Go read the 911 Bird board if you want to see a bunch of hard core DIYers and track junkies. The high degree of technical knowledge there is amazing. |

One other type...
The kind that has someone else do the mechanical stuff, and just uses their car to drive everywhere. M |

Can someone explain to me what this is all about? It seems 911 owner hate 914s. 914 owners hate 944s etc. But mustang guys are Ford loyal all the way. Vette owners are chevy to the bone. Porsche owners are the only ones I know that act this way. Who cares which one is the "best", they are all great!

the NARP syndrome is predominant in people who actually KNOW what other models Porsche made (read: rich old-old fogies). Those who apprecieate the off-production Porsches probably owned a few (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
Ron Snellgrow is one such guy in this area. Owns a 356 B Coupe. Owned a 73 914 and a 78 911SC. Now he just has his volvo and his 356... flashes, waves and flags down any other P-car he sees to shoot the breeze. |

Do you have to use so many cuss words? Group: Members Posts: 906 Joined: 29-November 04 From: 914 Roadshow - Glen Cove NY Member No.: 3,192 Region Association: None |
Being new to the bay area and a first time 914 owner (finally (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) ) I went to a local posche shop looking for parts. The guy came out to look at my 914 and proceeded to enlighten me. "The car is in really good shape, but it's only a four. You should sell it before you waste any more money. Here is a 911 I will sell to you for a song $8500, before I put it on ebay tomorrow. How much do you have for a deposit?"
The 911 is still there and that was 6 months ago. I love all porsches and it took me nearly 10 years to get a 914. This was my passion. As far as the shop I went to I wont bash...S-Cargo in Marin...Asshole (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/finger.gif) |

Rob, Rob, Rob..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) Hey Leo, pleasure to meet another local. I've lived in Richmond twice. My first house was in the Annex off Central Ave. Then, before I bought this place, I rented out at "the Point". I try to avoid Marin. I had a Maserati Biturbo (lemon alert-lemon alert) and welll....... I just don't want to think about the mechanic I found over there.... It's all good now. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) there's a dude selling his teen in Marin right now. He posted it on craigslist for a long time, Big price. Then he discovered 914club. His price has dropped drastically after a reality check. Love to see your ride if you've got pics??? |
