This will sound super strange to many of you, but even though the SC was a more refined, comfortable car all around, with great body lines, I outgrew it. As I hit 65 I felt like more of an entitled dick driving it, especially with rampant unemployment and soon to be record evictions and foreclosures. I know this is my take and not reflective of the majority of owners of exoticy foreign cars.

The good news is I never get that entitled rich dick feeling driving the 914. Many don’t know what it is, other than a it’s cool little car. Those that do know ( pre-COVID) rush over and want to talk about it. They had one, still have one, or Know someone who had one. 914s are cars people love and are super approachable. They are quirky, fun little boxes on wheels which either sound like VW bugs, 911s, or roaring V8s. And that’s the beauty, you never know.

So now the 914 is my one and only other than my DD. So long SC, it’s off to NY tomorrow.
