ah not to be negative but FEO2, Just trying to get back to it's elements.


Not to be pedantic (too late), but FeO2 no can do - FeO, Fe2O3, Fe3O4. Nother chemistry pet peeve: "high silicone pistons" grrr! silicone = synthetic rubber, as in fake boobs. Silicon, semi-metallic element. Can be alloyed with various metals and carbon.

Back on subject: "Nazi box" - add a gun turret and it looks like a panzer tank.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) I get that a lot. My friends always seem to have to relate my German car to something Nazi.

Though I always think Nazi when i see a Thing..

Mine gets called "Yellow car" for obvious reasons, my nephews call it the "race car" after attending a couple auto crosses, and my wife, while I was building it, referred to the 914 as "your other mistress". She has since mellowed out and calls it "yellow".

I was pumping gas about a week ago and spoke with a guy who said he wanted one when they were new. He said they referred to them as a cigar box.

That was the first time I had heard it referred as such

I've used that term often as a visual aid for the porsche impaired. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

Just invision a cigar box on jack stands. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

JP's "shitbox" comes to mind also. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

Mine goes by the name of "Baby".

I've called it POS more than once or twice, though.

A few times, I've called it "Persnickety", after Nathan J. Nagle's acronym:
Persnickety Old Roadster, Sucks Cash, Hellaciously Expensive.

Sometimes I'll use "Teener" as a term for any 914.

Someone on the Rennlist, years ago, called it "the Porsche picnic basket--a lid on each end, and a handle in the middle." (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

I sometimes call mine the "stud bucket" with heavy emphasis on the obvious ironey (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) .

Also, Winky for her tendency to wink the p-side head light 3 or 4 times when I turn the lights off. Never did figure that one out, but it corrected itself eventually (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif)
