For two days in a row I have had people come up to me and ask the familiar line, "Hey, what year is that?"
Two days ago, I pulled into my driveway in the mountains and a Jeep Wrangler drove by. Then he stopped and backed up and asked me "What year is that?" Told him and he said he once had TWO of the same model as mine! He laughed and said "Mine used to smoke like that too." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Found out he lives on the next block! Last night I was leaving Costco. Had my seat belt on, lights on, and was ready to back out. This guy ran across the parking lot and said those infamous words "What year is that?" Then the conversation proceeded as follows: "Did you get a good deal on it?" "Yes" "Did you have to do anything to it?" "I had it repainted and put new floor mats in it." "It sounds great." "Thanks." " I Love These Cars. I've gotta run." And he proceeded to run back across the parking lot. I drove home with Permagrin. Well, mostly because I drive 20 miles of twisties to get home. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) |

I had a guy pull into my driveway one day while I was washing my newly re-painted 74. He had to be around sixty or so. He took a quick look and said he had something to show me. Then he hopped in his truck and took off. He came back about an hour later and gave me a large manilla envelope. Inside was a good size stack of 1970's Porsche literature and some ads torn from magazines of the same time period. He told me his brother had been a real Porsche nut. He said that every time he drove past my house and saw me taking care of my car it reminded him of his brother. He said that it was a nice memory, and he thought his brother would want me to have the small collection of literature. I asked him if he would like to go for a drive, but he declined. I never saw the guy after that. Porsches are great cars and the coolest thing is the pure emotional response that they evoke. I alwas get excited when someone approaches me and my 914. I never grow tired of talking about it.
