It would be cool to see the ratio of driving to not driving members and their confidence in their cars. I'm looking for each member to vote on their one best STREET 914 car drivable or not. Had to put a race car catagories since I bet some only have race cars and they are important also. It would also be cool to see numbers growing anually in a positive trend. Its all up to us to make these numbers happen (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
If you have a concern with your car's drivability, post so local members can help if possible. |

Definitely drivable from coast to coast - matter of fact that is exactly what I did with my '76. Bought the car, sight unseen, but with a raft of well-done and trust-inspiring pictures "remotely" over the internet. Flew out to pick it up in Salem/OR on a Tuesday. Didn't even stay, left the same day. Arrived in northern Virginia on Friday.
The crazy part was the fact that the car had not really been driven in years and years, it was stored most of its life (24,500 original miles at that point). I had the PO put on new tires, which turned out to be garbage and not fully round (Nankang) and he took it to a shop that was supposedly able to handle that kind of car for a tune-up (waste of money, those people knew nothing). The clutch was close to being shot, the idle was way too low and it wanted to die at every stop. In Chicago I nearly overheated in stop-and-go traffic, which turned out to be a very low oil level. Only a few weeks later the first fuel line started to crack (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Nuts, I know. But one of these things I always wanted to to.
