Oh come on... Have YOU ever seen one run??? I didn't think so. It is a myth. These cars live on jackstands. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

You must be mistaken friend, these cars are like the titanic, only come out in a full moon and are never seen again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

As a kid, I'd see a 914 fairly regularly.... now days all you see are Boxsters.

Same thing, a Boxster is simply a 914 that runs!

I saw a wide body, white 914, most likely a 6 conversion on Jan-1-08 on Highway 168 just below Prather Ca. Was outside earlier, and heard what sound like a sixer ripping up the twisties, and later saw the car coming down the hill. Had a large wing on the back as well. There are some folks up here with some 914's, but never seen this one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Silly boy! Boxsters are just late model 914's. Yesterday I was at the dealership and I saw the LATEST model 914. It was Speed Yellow and they were calling it a Carrera GT! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It had 2500 miles on it. They want $395K for it I think.

Nice to see Porsche has finally gotten its heart in the right place!

See, this is a dangerous taste in cars we've acquired. I just drove home the second car in 30 days, and have bought three Porsches in as many years now. And I'm afraid the trend is accelerating!
