This was my 3rd 914. It was an 1974 2.0 and was originally red but someone had painted it a dark green metallic when I bought it. I painted it back to factory red and did 916 bumpers and a whaletail…….hey, it was the 80’s!

I had this car from ‘84 to ‘86, wonder where it now?? (Sorry, no vin#)

you got to love the USA. no matter where you point a camera there is going to be a stars and bars flying off a pole. which is great because its got to be one of the prettiest flags in the world.

1980s Vitaloni mirrors, too.

Dude.. this is an fyi post, not any censorship.

I want you to know that the "stars and bars" is the Confederate battle flag (think roof of the General Lee) and that flag is no longer allowed to be flown. Saying the "stars and bars" will get people offended at you.

The US flag is the "stars and stripes".

profound apologies (dumbo aussie).

@ 'East coaster' Actually still looks good today.

You don't have to apologize to me. I am personally not offended. But there are Karens out there that would rip your "dumbo aussie" butt a new one for saying that.

And on today’s episode of fun with flags. . . The stars and bars flag most definitely is not the common confederate battle flag that adorns the General Lee.

i would have to take that punishment gracefully.

nevertheless appreciate the educating.

back to east coasters 914.

Possibly a better phrase would be, Highly discouraged Due to the First amendment rights involved. I do not support it, but do support the right behind the law.

you got me googling there @Superhawk996 .
boning up.

yes flag i eroniously mentioned doesn't seem quite as problematic a one.
i see traces of its original design are still there in broad horizontal bands of some state flags.

i guess my original comment pertained to relative frequency with which you see the USA flag flying all across America which is what i was talking about (but had mistakenly named). its quite a contrast to australia where the flag is more or less restricted to government and institutional buildings. your flag in my humble opinion is a much prettier design than the australian flag and is a nice adornment to see. it was something that struck me when i first went to the USA half a lifetime ago. you notice it straight away when you come from another country.

I appreciate the respect for the flag flying even though only half of us fly it
