You might own a 914 if....... Options

[TROJANMAN]

You work for a bank, but there is a 13mm wrench on your desk when you start your day

[Pursang]

Then again, you might have something British. Check for oil on the floor to be sure.

[dr914@autoatlanta.com]

you wear the same silly shirt to work each day and even on the weekends!

[ClayPerrine]

You drive a modern car with movable sun visors, but instead of moving the sun visor to block the sun coming in from the side, you use your hand.

That's funny....but Porsche must have carried that tradition to the Macan....they won't telescope to block sun coming in the side window.

I'd add.....if you don't think cupholders are necessary in a car.

[Jack Standz]

You might own a 914...if you're old & need your hip (or other body parts) replaced. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

[sixnotfour]

If you have no problem with ,, "What the Hell is That ?"

[Geezer914]

I have an abundance of cardboard in my garage! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

You acquire replacement parts before you need them because the price was right.

I have racks filled with replacement parts.

[gonzo54]

[wonkipop]

if you have to think hard at the lights about which gear your audi is in.

and you still stall it-----------because its 2nd.

[Cessnaporsche01]

You wave at fellow Porsche drivers and get looks of concern and bewilderment in return.

[DBF]

You might own a classic porsche if:

You rest your king sized Sprite on the floor of the car only to knock it over when you get back in.

You have a box of receipts that you NEVER total up. EVER.

You wouldn't dream of hitting the highway without a full toolkit in the trunk.

Your mental image of your car's previous owner is of someone who needs a severe pounding for making your life so damn difficult.

Your neighbors think you're crazy as you're constantly wrenching under the car, it then leaves the jack stands for a few weeks, and then it's back on the jack stands for another few months.

The parts guy at the dealer laughs when you phone him and asks “more parts”?

You think spending $2000 on preventative maintenance is considered a good investment.

You're more familiar with the underside of your car than your own bedroom.

You suddenly realize you have the ability to identify every type of automotive fluid by smell.

You buy up used spare parts "just in case"...oddly enough, every time something goes wrong on the car, you don't have a spare.

You think the statement "With the cost in money and time it will take to replace the air intake gasket, it makes more sense to swap the engine rather than fix it" is completely logical.

You laugh when someone talks about a $75 tune up on their car.

Your daughter wakes up at 9:00 on a Saturday morning, sees you on the back porch, and asks what you are grilling? You answer that you're warming up the hub so that the bearing races go in a little easier, like that is just normal behavior.

You brag to everyone about what a great deal you got on your car, but will NEVER reveal how much you've spent on it.

You bought the car not knowing how to change spark plugs and can now rebuild an engine.

You put your ear near the gas cap as you're filling up-- when it starts to gurgle you stop filling.

You're wrenching on your car, and you are developing another joint between your wrist and elbow to get at some of the bolts.

You cussed out a snap ring.

If popping the hood and wiggling wires is just part of your startup routine.

You call a vendor for parts, and they recognize your voice before you tell them your name.

When the car has been on jack stands so long, you forgot where you put the wheels.

You think giving the carbs a whack is a perfectly fine way of diagnosing a no-start situation.

If every fluid reservoir on your car has a leak.

You find random amusement when something in the car starts working again.

You realize that you have spent thousands more on the car than it is worth, and rationalize that by telling people, "It's a classic, it won't depreciate.”

You keep believing that that this next upgrade will "be all it really needs."

Your wife gets tired of hearing "once I get this fixed, it will be just like a new car because I have replaced everything that could possibly break."

Low curbs, speed bumps, and driveways with a steep entry angle make you nervous.

Every 10 minute, $50 routine maintenance job becomes a 5-day, $500 job because you start thinking, "while I'm in there..."

[bkrantz]

You hear the words "hell hole", and you don't think of a rundown bar or a biblical story.

[Shivers]

If you have to call your heavy equipment repairman/operator friend to come by with his truck thas has a big enough compressor to run his giant impact gun to take off the rear stub axle nuts. What the hell, "Gunter strong" . That and you know where the reset knob for the mileage meter is.
