As I write this I think about my nice little 73 - 2056 in my garage. She has given me some problems from the start, but I don't "love" her any less and she is running good. While I have always loved Porsche's and VW's (coming from beetles actually), I always dreamt of owning the 911. 914 has shown up in my life more than the 911 and when I was finally able to buy a Porsche the 914 was the affordable one (as funny as that sounds). A 77 with a 2.0 motor has caught my eye and I have this strong feeling to rid myself of the teen and plunge into the eleven. Still powered by a teen so that counts for something right? If money was no object, sure own both.
Am I being silly? Does this pull to the 911 and if I am so easy to cast the 914 aside mean the 914 is not my true love? Maybe I need to snap out of it...but that 911 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) |

I had the 911 bug and bought a C2 cab. Gets you a little more respect with the non 914 crowd. Didn't handle as well and for some reason the interior fells smaller up front. My current 914 will run circles around most 911's.
Sold it and bought another 914... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) You will be back... |

Funny thing about the 914 interior: More cubic feet than a Boxster, and more trunk feet too. All that safety... And funny thing about 914s: 911s are nice, but they aren't 914s. I'd be hard-pressed to choose between them but had to years ago. Nice 1979 911 SC or my old 914. I reasoned that I would always be able to find another nice 911, but finding a good 914 back then was a lot harder. |
