Since buying my first 914 it has only been 1 month and 11 days and I already bought another.

Now, this second one is no more than a parts car, but I love it all the same (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

dheinz(Eddie) and I had a fun time up in PA today winching it onto the uhaul trailer using chains and ratchet straps to keep the winch from moving. He laughed and said we should be taking pics and putting it up here for all you to see. Sorry I didn't take any. By the time we got it up on the trailer the passenger rear tire had already lost all its air hahaha. I jabbed at him and said "You told me all 4 tires would hold air for a few hours" still it was good fun meeting another teener. Even more fun bringing it to its new home.

Thanks Eddie!

I liken it more to being afflicted with warts. Once you get one, you often end up with more. Likely more than you expected, and they can return.

Thought I was cured when I traded away a 914 back in the 70's after having it a couple years. Then, about 20 years ago, the affliction returned. Was up to 5 at one time, but am now down to 4. Note: one is just a parts car, but that doesn't seem to matter to my wife.

I don't claim to be a mechanic, but I do work on my cars, mostly changing parts. I sold 2 to a friend who is a mechanic. Bought the '73 1.7 back after he rebuilt the motor. Am buying back the '74 2 liter next week.

With a limit of 4 (3) cars, one has to be removed. Anyone interested in a dry California signal orange '73 2 liter that is currently off the road?
