Word

Edit: I type slow

All of us live in CA and most of us have 73 2.0L
Am I the only one that finds that strange?

yours, jays, and mine are all black , coincidence? i think not

I was 18 when I bought my first teener... does that count?

sure does

i was 18 before you guys were born

and back then, instead of cars, i was more into girlzz, loud music and other subversive activities.

ok, now you got me all nostalgic. i'm going to have a Cuba-Libre ...
Andy

There is also Blade Demon, but he only reads stuff I point out to him...............

Hmmm, that put's you between 1878 and 1895. Hell, you damn near predate the automobile, let alone the 914

Ooooohhhh you mean the cocktail! (2 to 3 ounces of Coke, the juice and hull of one lime, 1 ounce rum, half an ounce gin, and two dashes of bitters.)

Not bad from a guy from Utah! I'm going to have a 3.2 beer!!

I just watched Dirty Dancing Havana Nights. It was in Cuba... does that count?

914's din't happen till I was 20

..........b

I Had a 2.0....

Boy us teens just gota have the best huh?

Are any of us NOT planning a paint job?

Are we all planning/ or have 5 lug?

YOU GUYS ARE COPYING ME!!

Next, you'll want v8's...

I have a teenage son that will be taught to drive on a 914. Does that count?

Well mine is gonna be repainted black and your going red again.
If I was to change the engine I would go with a flat six or subi flat four.

Well I am definitaly way into girls and music. I see you are from germany, are you into heavy metal?

I'll take you for a drive.. you might reconsider.. lol

Im going ORANGE.. ANDY went red.

Phoenix Red... Its orange baby, with a tint of red.

Bad arse color.

Andrew

naaa, punk rock is my music of choice.

i haven't changed much in the last 25 years,
i pretty much looked the same in 1980

this is me last saturday, getting ready to hit the streets ...
Andy

Do you wear those boots for auto xing? Or do you change to shoes?

Just curious..

19 here. Had the teener sence I was 15.

turned 20 last month, bought the car when I was 17. And after all that, it almost runs.

What happened to cactus?

-Pete

I really wanted a teener when I was about 17, but did not actually get one till 30

He gave it his best shot. Chris ended up selling his 914 and bought a Miata.

Don't worry. He is infected. He is one of us. He will be back.

Ya poor cactus. He never had a shot getting that car which required so much work all at once.

My son was 15 when he gathered the money to get the "cool Blue teener" To much required to keep it running and youngins expect the damn thing to strat when you turn the key go like hell and never do nothing to it ever.

914 was not the car for him.

I just throw money at my car weekly drive it 1 day and work on it 2 days. If I miss the schedule it requires all weekend and twice the money.

But I LOVE THIS CAR!!!!!!!!

Yea! I was 19 11/12 when I got mine (choice between a Fire Arrow and a 914...)

So young...

Im planning a paint job.

And doing the 5 lug thing.

But I dont need a V8. The only replacement for displacement is a good driver in the seat .

Where are you going to school andrew?

Sir Andy, did you buy the wardrobe off SLC Punk? (note, we need a :punk: smiley for you)

We gota punk smilie..

"There is no replacement for displacement, except forced induction"

Thats my quote, and I've been sayin in for eva.

I've been doing a few auto xes.. Im at 8 now? Anyways, they are in the 944 turbo's.. Kinda prepares me for the v8.

Planning collage is stan state after MJC

i bought my first 914 when i was 17 and its still in my driveway and who ever said you get infected with this little car was right.

nope, same boots. makes for better acceleration (and braking).
yeah baby!



all "do it yourself" ...
the mud-flap used to be a t-shirt. i designed the german tour promo-stuff for a band called "extreme noise terror" in, hmmm, i think '93 it was.
posters, flyers, t-shirts and all that good stuff. that was a promo t-shirt ...

Andy

I'm only 18. Got the teener because I wrecked dad's 2.0 when I was 16
Eric

28 now, got mine when I was 15.

-Steve
74 914 3.6

i'm 17 now and i've had my 914 since september ('03). i've decided i'm going to think about a project car alot more before i buy one next time. still fixing it 2500 or so later. had a few urges to but i held back. 1976 2.0 with all ssi 73 style exhaust.

I'm 20 but I got my 1974 1.8 when I was 19.

Ok so how many of you have friends who try to make fun of your car and they have some ugly cheap looking honda?

Yeah my best friend thinks it's a piece of shit because it spends to much time in the garage. He calls it the p14. But I guess not everyone can drive a shitty wrecked Ford Explorer
Eric

Mine was worse.. the guy had a kia...

Thought it resembled a lawn mower...

Now that he knows the car... He doesnt think that anymore.. lol

Especially when he knows the engine thats going in it..

hi guys...its 130 in the morning...I am tired...I dont know why I am on the board right now...been gone for awhile...yeah I am 18...hehe...19 soon...have had the teener since I was 17...it is sort of running now.....ran beautifully for 20 min till I overrevved it....got to love that tailshifter! Dropping engine tomorrow and swapping out heads....well see how it goes...gnight...drink well...I mean sleep well
-Jared

I'm 19 and have a 76 914 and an 83 944. I got the 944 the day of my highschool graduation (may, 2003) and got the 914 a couple weeks ago.

The 914 has some rust (battery tray, rusted suspension console) , but out here in the midwest I have to take what I can get.

Welcome to the board!

My only friend that makes fun of me driving a "VW" drives Toyota Celica from 1988 .

I'm 20 and got my 914 when i was 15. Taught myself everything i know about working on cars in those 5 years. Made a couple stupid decisions in there that cost me $$$ but everything tuned out alright. Best advise i can give is stick with it and don't give up. There were a couple somber nights when my car had no doors, hoods, floors etc. but keep that welding gun hot

David

I am 16 years old and my 914 is my first car.

For many years I have worried about who was going to carry on the 914 torch as each of us old guy's passed away. Each event I attend I look around to see if any young people are interested in this stuff or if video games have taken over the world. It brings great pleasure to me when I see threads like this getting good responses. It means the torch will be carried on by the young guns.


B

I am not a teenager, but I am still young and drive my teener as a daily driver. I got started in Porsches when I was 15...met Brad shortly after.

-Britain

Hey, dont expect me to hold on to my teener. As soon as i can afford it im going to get a "real" porsche .

my friends all make fun of my daily driver ( a 1978 ford fiesta) even though it is in better condition then any of their cars ( if they have one) and some make jabs at the 914 but stop when i give them the and ask them if they have a porsche.
