Dear World,

Please stop making me want to put all my time and money into a stupid little ugly old car that isn't even really a Porsche.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Yours truly,
Dan

The 914 being a non real Porsche (ie a VW) is in my opinion a real plus.

VW's rule!

with that sacrilege I think that this thread should be banned!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey now it's not ugly and stupid.. It's "special"

I only support the 914 so that there will be more Fiat X19s for me. Bwahahahaha

Dan,

Because I care, I'd be happy to help.

Just let me know when I can have the auto transport guys stop by and rid you of your scourge...

You will never feel the need to spend money or time on this car again...

... but this is just the first step, I expect that you will lapse and buy another 914, and I'll be there for you again, and again, and again, and again to ease your burden every time and take those pesky 914s off of your hands.

because I care...

Eric

its a Karmann, dick

Welcome to the frustration....

My full avitar caption should read:

Sounds like time for a full restoration!

Did you just summon the East Coast Thread Killers?

I don't know why you're calling it a non-Porsche.

The badge that I put on the hood says Porsche...

Just a hood crest? :omg:

Everyone knows you need a hood crest, PORSCHE rockers, side stickers, wheel center caps, and maybe a crest on the back as well just to be safe.

2 funny ...Mines a real Porsche..sorry yours SUCKS

Dan, Consider yourself lucky because you still drive your car. You have yet to step off the slippery slope of restoration. You have seen where I am with my car, it takes a lot of time, money, storage space for the disassembled parts, and a willingness to spend your spare time busting your knuckles and rolling around covered in filth and grit. Seek immediate help and counseling.

Stick around, we can fuel help you with your addiction!

Eric, for the win-win optimization, McMark will step up and ship all X-19s to you from here on in. They will be shipped in stealth mode, camouflaged with all the aforementioned Porsche badging, plus the the addition of the overlooked Porsche license plate frames.

Damn those pesky universal constraints of time and space! My car is quite drivable, but between the 2- & 4- year olds, and being surrounded by Chicagoland's nearly perfect graph-paper grid of roads, I get maybe an hour of relatively boring 914 driving every 2 weeks. And a parts stash piling up with no time to work on it (or to develop the assoviated skills). Oh well, yeah, this is the blessing/curse I knew I was signing up for!

This thread is Miles approved

This shouldn't help

they call it "co-dependancy"

Ok, Ok, whose baby crapped in the can?

ooops Do farts have lumps in them?

There are porsches which are tail draggers and porsche specials which are all the others like the 550 and 908 and 917 except the 914 which is vw's best sportscar after they tried the karmann ghia and then the t3 and t4. Once they got the unibody down they had to try a sportscar.

Hi: My name is Dave, I am a 914 aholic !!!!

You are all invited to my weekly group consoling project, and 12 step program!

Our rate of succes leaves a lot to be desired, in fact we haven't cured anyone!

That is not the point, we provide written proof of attendence, this has been

successfully presented to various wives, as documentation as to your sincere

attempt to kick the habit. The meeting starts promptly at 7:00 P.M. Baggies

of rust will be provided, and oil will leak from the ceiling.

Yours for better mental health

Dave Kimple

Sorry Dan, I can't help you.

Dan,
It's the rust. It gets into your lungs and blood. It is more addicting than crack. I should know, I have had this addiction for 25 years.


And frankly.... I DON'T WANT TO BE CURED!

It's not fatal, and as Betty says, It keeps me off the street.

And on jackstands?

And don't forget the PORSCHE sticker across the top of the windshield for that retro cool.
