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. |

Great! So now you are telling me when I get my Six home I can't drive it because people may think I am an entitled dick? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif)

Great! So now you are telling me when I get my Six home I can't drive it because people may think I am an entitled dick? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) We just want you to get your Six home so you can drive it. What’s the status on it, I thought AASE Motorsports was finishing it up. Now my 2 cents on entitlement. If you work hard you can have whatever you want, enjoy it. If you studied and got the education in life to move ahead then good for you. If you were at the right place at the right time then good for you. If you just got plain lucky in life then good for you. But if your able bodied and set on your ass all day and collect all the free crap the government gives you then I say your the entitled one. Only in America do we reward all the POSs who do nothing.....That’s entitlement. |
