Well this rule eliminates about 3/4 of the club
I am 26 and my car will be running in 10 - 20 years.

No I just was wondering how many young people have seen what we see in our cars

I'm 38. Bought my current 914 when I was 22. Drove my buddies 914 in 1989, my senior year in HS when I was 17...knew I had to have one after that.
Kinda funny looking back that his car was a "Bumblebee". We had no I dea what it was at the time. Wonder what happened to that car???
Two other guys in our senior class had 914's too. I think they wrecked both of them as I recall.
Theres a kid named Theo on here that lived up the street from a couple of years ago. He bought his 914 as soon as he turned 16. He must be 18 or 19 now. I think he has it for sale on here actually. Not sure why?

Got my teener when i was 15 as my first car, blew up the stock 1.7 replaced it with a subie about a year and a half ago, and am painting the trunk right now. its been running on and off for the last 5 years, depends on the day... lol im 20 now, and it runs but i can't drive it...

Boy back in the day It was me. The self proclamed youngest teener owner. Im sure there are plenty non regulars now that are younger than me. Im 23 now, I got my 914 when I was 14 IIRC.
Orange914 (Kenny) is a friend of mine and I believe he's 19. But he's not active, His father (Mike) is much more active on his account.

Jon Fernadez might be the current youngest, and he has a running car. Course, he has to be 17 or 18 by now, so maybe there is someone younger. Its sure as hell not me.

I turned 16 in September! Daily Driver 2.0l with Webers. Bought the car at 15 with a rod knock and 2 spun bearings, and it took me a year to rebuild suspension and the motor. I think I'm the youngest..
Really crappy photo. I was working out all day so my face was really dirty..haha:

I think Eric Shea is about 12. He has a running 911 but his 914 is still in process... If you are cruising for young 914 "meat" I don't think you will have any luck with Eric. He only dates Brazilian Supermodels...

24 here. Bought mine 6 months ago. Came running - in fantastic shape. Haven't had to do much to it yet, just minor things here and there (biggest thing to date is replacing the one parking brake cable it came with and added a 2nd). Which is great, because I don't know a whole lot about cars and am slowly learning.

hee heee, i'm 101 according to my profile
kenny still loves the 914, just consumed with 19 year old life. he acually bought his first (P.O.S.) 71 914 @ age 13 from paper route $. it ran (barely), would that qualify him as youngest?

I'm four years younger than my '74 2.0.
Finally decided at age 31 that I wasn't willing to wait any longer to get my mid-life-crisis-mobile. I've always thought 914's were cool. Once I realized they were affordable (to obtain, anyway) and roomy inside, I decided to go for it... this, despite having two kids under 3 at the time.
I can't think of another way I could've spent $5K that would've made me happier. (OK, the 5K is growing with parts and maintenance... but still a bargain.)

I'm 20. Been driving my 914 before I was 16. Mom was original owner so grew up with it (and claimed it early on according to my parents). Got it running during freshman year in high school. Painted it my senior year. Here's how it is today.

Judging by the orange trees and dw914er being a student at Cal Poly, I'm guessing somewhere in California?

I'm 74 today. I'm on my third 914 over the years. My first Porsche was a 356 Speedster that I sold for $400 in the middle 60's and yes I still kick myself over that dumb move.

I bought my first teener at the age of 21 but fell in love with them because of my dumb brother in law Jon (Pheonix914-6gt)
After that first ride I got in his car it was the sports car I wanted. I am currently purchasing a running and drivable 914.

My brother had one when he turned 16, that would make me 12. I pretty much learned how to drive stick on his car.
I got mine at 14, rebuilt the necessary parts and was able to drive it on my 16th birthday freshly painted. Sold that one my senior year (actually, my dad sold it
) still bitter about that.
I bought my most recent one beginning of my freshman year at college and began working on my subaru conversion. I have been working off on (as time from college permits) and now, as of a few days ago, it has a running engine. And Im now 20.
From the first time I really got to DRIVE a 914, i appreciated all aspects of it and will probably own a 914 the rest of my life.

47....but had my teener since 1985. Drove it daily for almost 11 years, parked it for another 12. Getting at all back together and repainted.
Don't ask me about my other 914 i got 12 years ago, bought for 400, sight unseen, thinking, hell, i can get 400 in parts out of it.
