Today, coming home from work, driving south on 280 from San Francisco, a new 911 pulls up beside me and demonstrates his respect for the 914.... he smiles and gives me the thumbs up! Gotta luv it!

You know, if you get a chance to talk to the guys who wave, they'll often say that their 1st Porsche was a 914 and then comment on how much fun they had with it.

I've owned both 911s and 914s, and it seems the longterm Porsche owners have a lot of respect for the 914s at this time.
I guess that today's water cooled, front-, mid-, rear-engined sportcars, tourers, SUVs that Porsche does or has offered makes one nostalgic for the good old days when they sold aircooled sportscars. Give every Porsche owner a wave, the ones that matter will appreciate it. |

Sunday I'm on my way home from an Autocross, traveling East on Route 17 between Elmira, NY and Binghamton, NY. Towing my wide body V8 914 on an open trailer. I get passed by a chorus line of trucks pulling various Honda and Acura SCCA Improved Touring roadrace cars on open trailers on they're way home from Watkins Glen raceway. Not a glance my way. No wave. Nothing.
5 minutes later a 50ish couple towing a 1970 Datsun 240Z in Bob Sharpe colors comes by. I glance over as they go by and they are all smiles and thumbs up. Cool. Mike T |

That picture of driving behind that windshield and just enjoying the driving thing in the mountains is what a 914 is all about. I didn't know such a thing existed and heard of that sports car feeling. My teemer just blew me away the first time I opened her up and perhaps they had that same feeling once also.
