The original dash only has one crack in it so adds patina to the car.

Dr. redefining patina. And the second crack. Just put some clear coat on it to preserve the crack, um I mean patina. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Doc, patina doesn't apply to everything.

@altitude411 and @kelty360 comments seem mean spirited.

Some go through life tearing others down thinking it elevates them. They can't see how foolish this makes them seem.
And then others pile on...

Doesn't make sense to me.

Thanks for sharing George. I never realized my 75 1.8 is more stable on the interstate because of the weight of the bumpers. I may have to rethink their replacement with fiberglass units.

I have back dated three 914s and the only thing I noticed was my car looked 100% better.

@jagalyn

Jeff, I know you are and a big AA supporter, I'm sorry your web site is no longer supported but...

This isn't high school or the Disney channel(all animals do not dance arm in arm). It's a car forum. George is advertising cars that he has for sale by posting this bullshit in the garage forum. I am tired of his relentless insidious postings. I am not trying to "elevate myself" by any means. Just calling out a charlatan for what he is. You obviously haven't been swindled by this shyster as yet so your opinion of him is different than mine. For that I am happy for you. Other than that, if you have a problem with any of my posts, please send me a PM and we can discuss my foolishness in private or over the phone if you prefer. The people that are "piling on" as stated by you, are others that have been lied to or cheated by the self appointed Dr. Do-little. I sincerely hope this makes sense to you.Thanks for the couch time.

Thanks for the psych 101 analysis of my motivation. I hope it feeds your sense of superiority. You did miss one little facet of my posting....fatigue. I’m tired of being lied to. I’m having to go through life in an era when lies are just alternate facts and I can’t even escape to a cherished car forum to avoid it. I resent that and I’m not shy about calling out a blatant practitioner.

Btw, would you consider a crack in the dash of your pristine survivor as just a little patina?

So I have our dent man coming today. It is amazing what those guys can do while of COURSE preserving the original finish.

Beyond being one of the worst of the 914 concourse weenies, I really would like to see more 914s driven on a regular basis while still being meticulously maintained.

I suspect this is one reason for the above post. As usual, instead of just following the rules and posting a classified ad for a used car, the good doc tries to create a vibe by posting BS about this being his new daily driver. He is correctly called out for his BS by the gentleman above....probably because his M.O. is getting so tired and obvious.

Only days later, said vehicle can be found on cargurus FOR SALE....as was implied would happen. I can't 100% guarantee this is the same car because he never gave us the VIN in his original post, but I would bet my paycheck. And, AS USUAL, it is purposely advertised with only 12,983 miles on it instead of 122K which he admitted to on this site to more savvy viewers. He did the exact same thing on the yellow car that he originally claimed had 15K on it, even after he knew it had over 150K.

So, I don't normally go to such lengths to discredit someone, but sometimes you literally have to prove what's going on by providing actual facts and follow up on the claims and actions of our modern day ringmasters and charlatans. This is especially true when Admins intervene and stop threads because someone is getting shit on. All I can say to that, is if you're the guy doing most the shit slinging, don't be surprised if you get a little fecal matter on your own shirt. I've included a link to the cargurus ad...no picture yet.

Hope the link works.

sure a bit rough on the outside, most people like a good looking exterior and would rather have that than good bones, unfortunately. But to me no substitute for original factory finish even if a bit "blemished"Attached ImageAttached Image

Gotta love it. The quack at Auto Atlanta has the perfect driver listed with an automatic trans. That link is priceless for all those who don’t understand shady business. Thanks for turning over the stone and shedding light on a slithering truth.

What a BUNCH of NEGATIVE D.B.s! NEVER swing at the 'high cheese'! Alternate facts. I'll put my crystal ball back in the closet.
