Was filling my gas tank yesterday when I heard a commotion and a couple guys yelling behind me. When I turned around I found they were yelling at me. I looked under my car to check for gas pouring out, but it was dry. They were yelling about me putting gas in my engine. One of them said the gas goes in the back. I told them to relax, I was putting it in the tank. Then they started arguing with me.when I showed them the tank and the engine they were amazed at my skills for moving the engine to the middle. They just refused to believe it came that way. Less than a mile away, I made another stop and someone in the parking lot asked if that top came off. I simply said yes. as he was walking around the car he said "that's a karman ghia right"? I was gonna just say yes but he saw the hood badge and said "oh, it's a Porsche, no it's not! You just stuck the emblem on there". I just walked off. I've been dealing with this crap for 40 years. Why can't people just mind their own business? If every guy who's told me his best friend had one in college really had one there would have been two million made. Now I'm not adverse to talking about my car, but at least ask a real question and stop lying. Had one guy tell me he used to do frame off restorations to them in the 70's. Huh? Go away dude.

I haven't had anyone say anything bad about the 914?
Stuck in grid lock on I83 inching along when a very attractive young woman in the passenger seat of a big Chevy SUV climbed halfway out the window as they were passing waving and yelling, "I LOVE YOUR PORSCHE"! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) At a Gas Station a 40 ish Biker on a nice Ducati came over and said "NICE 914 WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I WAS GOING TO BUY ONE BUT WOUND UP GETTING AN MG INSTEAD...KICK MYSELF WHEN EVER I SEE ONE OF THESE, BIGGEST MISTAKE I EVER MADE". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) At the HERSHEY SWAP MEET this year a 911 ownercame over and said "I HAVE GOT TO GET ME ONE OF THESE". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) At a PCA Tech Session at Translog, Tony had his 914 Auto Cross car that he's building on the lift and spend most of the session answering questions by everyone there about the 914. The Boxster Karmin Kia he built, that was at the SEMA Show, sat on the next lift and didn't get nearly as much attention from the mostly 911 crowd. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) People are taking notice, BIG TIME! |
