lately, there has been some confusion about myself, I thought that when i joined that i informed everyone that i was only 14 but i guess not. Well, i just wanted to let people know to keep from having any further problems.

Look. If you screw up on anything, we will bag on you. If you LIE and expect us not to rag on you, you are mistaken.
Good luck

Is that 14 as in 14 different personalities? 
Posted by: scotty b Apr 7 2005, 06:46 PM

Damn man, get your own car, I bought a 914 myself at 14 (and now I'm almost 17). Then do ALL the work on YOUR OWN car. Much more satisfying that way. I've worked on 911s, lots of Fords, and the 914 is my favorite because I own it all.
Also, I wouldn't don't give out any bs advice (or become like a certain member whose name starts with bd. . . . and have 1,000 posts in like 2 months), you will get called on it
Anyways, rant off. and get your own car, its much more satifying grasshoper san (in my most Mr. Miagi voice)
Edit: notice that my dad and I post under the same avatar (though I do much more), but his car is clearly noted.

well i will defend grass hopper, i have meet him and his dad. he does post like he is 40, but he is 14. i do think the way he posts is very missleading, i though he was 40 or so until i called him ( dad ) and he said hold on and handed the phone to his son
yup the kid handles the car stuff dad just handles the money... dont we wish we were all that lucky

I too need to come clean.....I am only four years old. I enjoy surfing the net and posting on the 914club site as I can only wait until I can drive.

To furthur defend Grasshopper, yes, he does have a 914....at least the engine...I should know I sold him my old engine and he came and picked it up (both him and his dad)
He and his father post on the same name.
I don't think his dad is computer savvy... I can't talk because I'm forever posting on Teri's screen name here (scotts_toolwench) because she never sign's out and then I post on her name. Then afterwards I have to delete it and post it again in my name. Teri always looks at me and goes "look how knowledgeable I am about 914's" (yeah right... )
Posted by: rhodyguy Apr 8 2005, 02:37 AM
you think all the members own a 914? a strong interest is more than enough for me. you should be able to build a 6, and flare car by the time your're 17.

Well.....hummm. I got started restoring cars as a tool bunny for the local ole timer at 14. We all come into this car thing at some age right? Let the kid be, he and his dad have the right idea. My first car was a 47' Ford coupe (worked summers to pay it off). I started working on it at 15 and by the time I had finished it I was 17 and i might add much wiser.
So give the lil' feller a break and encourage him. We need to make sure that the younger generation continues on with these cars, when they put us in the dirt bed. I'm just waiting on my grandson to get to the point to fetch papaw a wrench, then it will start all over again........

I met Grasshopper and his Dad a week ago.
Until we spoke on the phone I didn't realize he was 14, and at dinner I encouraged him to expose his guilty secret.
He's a real good person (and his dad too) despite the seeming dual personality here on the forum. I say he deserves the same (lack of ) respect we give to any other member.
Dad only bought their 914 because of Grasshopper's interest, and they are learning about the joys of ownership together.
Way to go Barry!

I'm 15 
But same for me and my dad. The 914 is mine but it's a good project for my dad and I and it keeps us busy and excited each day. That's what it's all about.
Posted by: grasshopper Apr 8 2005, 05:45 AM
look, i did LIE about my age. but i did it because i thought that if you guys knew my age that no one would take me seriously. Everything i have said is true about my dad but not me. And if you dont believe me, my dad and I will be at WCC.... Right now i am thinking about leaving the club cause i have pissed off so many people...i dont know....later guys
Posted by: mack914 Apr 8 2005, 06:11 AM
Please come back-don"t go!!!! We're hoping Michael J posts soon.
Posted by: vsg914 Apr 8 2005, 06:49 AM
There is nothing wrong with being 14. My oldest granson is 14. There are lots of kids who can't drive on this forum.
I built my first go cart from wood and my dad's lawnmower engine at 12. Damn was he mad when he got home! Then he helped me get it running right before he reposessed the engine and made me mow the lawn.
There is something wrong with lying. You'll find all the help here that you need. Just be straight up with us.

You havn't pissed anyone off. We're just a-holes giving you a hard time,it's all in jest! Liar Liar pants on fire!
You can take about 10% of what is said here seriously
Sit down, have a cup of coffee and join in.
Posted by: sjhowitson Apr 8 2005, 07:32 AM
Grasshopper just hang in with this group. MOST of the people on this list are great people and we welcome your input. With the condition of most of the youth of America a little 914 group grooming will be good for all of us.
Stay with us and enjoy the BS......
I'll jump off my soap box now. 
Help I've fallen and I can't get up..Someone call lifealert

If you guys think that owning a 914 that only holds down the jack stands in your garage counts and "being a 914 guy" you need to check yourself.
The young guys will school you dudes! Think about where the young guys are when your riding your couch watching the game and letting beer farts to impress your better half. They're out in the garage wrenchin on a car they dream about driving, and will!
Welcome Grasshopper! and rev it up lil bro!

I was building bugs when I was 14. That's what led me here. After about 1/2 dozen of those rust traps I moved to these rust traps
Posted by: Lou W Apr 8 2005, 11:42 AM
I bought my first car when I was 14, wish I still had it today, it was a 1958 Corvette, paid $100.00 for it, my dad and I spent 2 1/2 years working on it. I've sinced moved onto to finner automobiles.
Come on back Grasshopper, I'm sure you'll have lots to contribute.
