Well, I've finally put the Suicide Blond up for sale on ebay. Sad but true. So I get a message from someone, in Austin, who says they want to know more about the car.
The first thing that happens is he starts to berate me on my choices in changes for the car. I KNOW that making my transmission a side shift will make it less collectible, as will putting in a moveable passenger seat, leather interior, upgrading the engine to 2.7 liters and 200 hp, sport exhaust. Why did I need him to start off telling me these things? Dude, do you want the car or not? "I'm a cash buyer, interested in your car." Well, not really. You are an arrogant asshole with an attitude. He just wanted to show how smart wasn't. I really liked how he told me that 914's don't have rear springs. And told me I know nothing about the car I've owned and worked on for the past 7 years (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I wanted to hang up on him. But he hung up on me instead, so, whatever. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Oh, and he signed up for an ebay account, 10 days ago, and has never used ebay before...uh huh.

Seems like my first 914 ('73 2.0) had a sping dipstick. I always thought it was a typo as it had a handy couple of bolts that held it inside the rear spring and would measure travel of the spring. Car sat kinda funny with only one though. My '75 doesn't have one on either side - sits kinda low...
That thing in the middle on #1 in the pic. Musta been an option for the Appearance package as that car had everything. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
