I realized back at that PCA national event in 1989 that most that own a Porsche do so for the perceived brand status. Most of the people I talked to didn’t work on their cars, had little real appreciation for those that did.
Since I lived in the area at the time, the backroads were also heavily traveled by Porsche’s. Mostly driving too slow and generally making a nuisance of themselves. Little has changed over 30+ years. There was a great spot on Car Talk years ago from a 911 owner that wanted Click and Clack to give pointers on the high-points of a 911 so that the listener could talk more intelligently about the car when gear heads asked questions. Edit: found it. https://www.npr.org/2013/08/17/212962401/-1...rsation-stopper. Starts around 37:16 mark. Let’s face it the average Porsche buyer isn’t buying one for the engineering and driving dynamics any more than your average BWW buyer was buying the ultimate driving machine. It is for the lifestyle brand image. Plain and simple. To expect others to know the history and to honor a 914 in all its glory is asking too much. |
