I agree with Rick Ollah! Maybe I have too much faith in these cars, but I think not. I flew to Salt Lake and drove my newest car 900 miles home. Not very reliable (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) From what I don't know about carbs, I've been told you can change the jets on your own and carry different ones and change them out for AXing needs. What a bunch of hoo ha. Believe in your car and it will treat you right.

The only problem with this idea is the whole"spend some money" part. When I was in college there was not a spare penny to be found. Well...unless I needed to buy beer.

that's what mr. stafforf is for. he is very generous. he helped me buy my corrado in law school (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)

keep the more reliable car and buy the 914 when your done with school.

I'm in the 'don't buy a 914 until you can afford it' camp. The initial purchase price is the tip of the iceberg with classic cars. Can you afford an engine rebuild? A tranny rebuild? Concentrate on your studies. Drive your 4Runner with A/C.

if you can afford it, it's a great, classic car...

if you cannot afford it, it's an old, PITA, that you have to work on...

when I was in college I ALMOST did something like this... I would have had to sell my pickup, to get a '70 chevelle... it was a sweet car but had a miss in the engine, and needed a tranny rebuild before long... college just wasn't the right time to have to tinker just to get where I was going...

it's much more fun to work on a car when you DON'T HAVE to(to get where you are going), but when you want to...

The hole Believe in your car thing is cool and all. But this is not my car and I don’t now if the things that have been done have been done right. So really I would be believing in someone else’s car. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)

I’m not going to buy a car right now. But I will in the future. I think the thing with this car is it has all the things I want to do to a 914. excepted that ugly front fiber glass bumper. The back looks cool. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)
