Happy Mothers Day to all of you celebrating this Sunday (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)
Here's a snapshot (for real on a Kodak Brownie camera) of my Mom Betty, next to our '52 Chevy business coupe in Sea Foam green. She's responsible for my obsessive Automotive life/work style, as she set me up with my first Matchbox cars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) She always told me that even before I could speak my first few words, that she saw a light come on when I slid those little cars around (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)  |

Great posts fellas, Happy Moms day to all the 914 moms.
One memory of my Mom that’s car related was when we took a little road trip to see one of her aunts. Mom had a ‘68 Impala with a wonky fuel gauge. I remember the car sputtering and we coasted to a stop. She popped out and pushed the car to the side. Had me steer. Middle of nowhere in a rural area. Mom pops the trunk and grabs the gas can! Let’s go! It was a good LONG walk to a one pump station she spotted on a side road. Turned out to be a farm. I remember the tractors parked all around. Told me to go knock on the door. We got the gas & I had my first ride in the back of a pickup bed. I think I was around 8 yrs old. One thing about my Mom she was never afraid to try or do anything. She always encouraged ya to do no matter what it was. I lost her in 2010. Happy Moms Day! |

My mother bought a 1972 914 in 1975 and drove it for about 10 years. That car was still in their back yard when my father passed in 2016.
