too many serious post lately

2 simple rules... heres how it works:

(my definition is:)
1]to be a 914 owner you of a must be of an anul retentive mindset
(examples are:)
A] can't sleep, rethinking if you set the valve train geometry right
B] acually enjoy and follow post like "name this part"

SEE it's not that hard. what's your definition of a hard core teener'?

A hardcore Teener must have a good set of Jackstands!

and can't spell

ANAL

see... anul

teener owners have to have some kind off odd personality trait or specialty.. at least that's what i've noticed from being on this forum lol

They tend to be nerdy and if they think they are not, they are fooling themselves only.

They tend to like the lost cause.

They are pessimistic optimists; that will probably brake, but I can fix it.

Can't spell/use the correct form of a word is top of the list.

Welding Skills are required.

CSOB of course.

A bunch of metric tools, and a cooler of beer.

One project car

Enough parts for three cars.

The ability to smile and answer repeatedly "no..... it's not a FIAT"

You take a rusty tub apart for the fasteners....then can't find them when you need them.

One word...

Sadistic

Damn, did I spell that correctly??

Typical 914 owners have rust flakes all over their garage floor..

Typical 914 owners will buy a car with an amount of rust that normally would be considered terminal, and then fix it up.

All typical Cali 914 owners have rust free 914's, all typical east coasters have rusty POS 914's.....

Typical 914 owners have never used the search function on the website.

All typical 914 owners are opinioned, and each believes they are the most right....

Typical 914 owners go out of their way to help others with their problems....

If it has Weber Carbs it is prolly at least part Fiat..........

masochistic
truly believes beauty is in the eye of the key holder
content with a 4cylinder radio... turned up to 11 of course

I totally agree w/ Dr. Evil... I'm a geek and always have been. I took on the 914 BECAUSE I knew nothing about it, it takes a nerd to want to learn that way

Usually fairly decent people in general.

Usually like brew or botany...or both.

Usually don't like actually moving anything in their garage, just because it is hard to roll anything without wheels on it.

Usually on the lookout for another 914, and hoping they find that "barn /6"

Usually have more parts cars than they admit, because the one "project" really is a parts car.

Hahaha

Cuts all over your hands (from sharp engine tin corners), oil on your forehaed, and a flat spot on the back of your head from lying under the car.

Ability to make irratonal decisions, based on Percieved value of unknown outcome.

According to some of the attitudes around here lately:

Barely contained rage.

You sure you didn't mean Masochistic?


I also think a little bit of low self esteem helps too ... since its not a REAL Porsche and all.

The typical 914 owner either has a very understanding spouse or is looking for a divorce attorey that understand the division of property goes like this: I keep the cars, she can have the house.

Today's my wife's and my anniversary. At breakfast I was presented with a sweet Martini Racing jacket and new gear shift knob for the 914.

lucky guy.....she must have been a guy in a past life!


oh ...... a 914teener is apt to spend double the cost of the car on a engine conversion that won't increase the value of the car even fractionally.

lives in a constant state of denial.
For example: I can change my car back to original in a weekend.

Magically manages to get many,many years longevity out of a single set of street tires...

Car on jackstands = no tire wear...

Guilty as charged...

The typical 914 owner usually has problems with logic.

For instance, complaining about people who would destroy the stock resale value of their car by upgrading their fuse panel, while working on their V-8 conversion...

Or how about those who complain about those unpatriotic members that buy foreign made parts, for their German car...

Has a problem reading manuals ( if they even own one) , so would rather post a question on a BB than get out the book - as I just told someone on the 'other' site to do and got flammed for it

There you see is another one....

Very Confused!!

Here is a test for hard core 914 owners.

Have fun with this test.

Broke ass, beer swilling, perverted, overly intelligent ( or so they think ), "mechanically creative " ass hats with gigantic shlongs.





Oh and bloody knuckles, burned jeans, and grease stains, bondo, and paint permanently affixed to their fingers

6 out of those 7 describe me perfectly.

Prety close, though I don't use bondo, and prefer either sour mash or that gorgeous "shine" from the mountains of North Carolina, or single malt. or.......

I also think we prefer having something unusual, maybe an underdog. I also like whipping the snot out of snooty cars at a concours!

Did I pass?

Mark,
I fixed the web site. At the end of the test there is a self scoreing section. How did you score?
