I just saw this thread http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=350102 about how to open the engine lid. It got me to thinking about things that "everyone knows" about our beloved little cars that was not glaringly obvious to me when I was a new owner.
So.. post your list of items that say "I was a 914 owner for X number of years before I found out....." Think of this as helping to educate new 914 owners. I will start it off: I was a 914 owner for 5 years before I found out that the left and right outer door handles are different. |

Turn sign stays on for parking, with out the key on! Yep, and front fenders are also "indicators" of another kind—as with 356, 911, and 912, Ferry liked the raised headlight or parking light humps because they help a driver "sight" where the corner of the car is on the way into a turn. In the 914's case, a small bonus at night seen in very few other cars: You don't need the dash lights to tell you a turn indicator is on, or which one. |
