So you just place that in the cornfield and it keeps the crows away?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Good one!

Just to equalize the situation, my car is a piece of sheet metal trash, on jack stands, splatted with primer, not fit for a dog, leaking trany, leaking engin, an eye sore for the blind and ya need a tetanus shot to drive it!! I got duct tape holding my windshield in place and ya can see the por15 on the front of it on my avatar! It will be renewed, shine in its new glory and cherished once it gets all the TLC my heart can give. Sorry for being so ate up; drove it twice and fell in love.

guys guys guys, we've seen lots of the owner's cars on this board, that one on e-bay is many times better than most of them. no I don't like the dash modification but the flares look better than glued on repro 916 flares any day.
That car is clean and nice. Not perfect, but nice.
This thread reminds me of a punk kid who used to hang on the pelican board and rennlist. He was constantly putting down everyone elses car, nothing was any good. His car was a non-running, rusted out POS. I'd seen better 914s at the pick-a-part after the vultures got done with them.
I propose we make a new rule, you are not allowed to post a slam of someone else's car unless you post all the details of your car so everyone can slam it too.
Anyone who has a 914 that is absolutely perfect in every way is exempt from this rule. All in favor?

you're kidding me, right? Mister "well you done a bunch of stuff, but it really isn't a 914 anymore". You have posted that comment (more or less) in more than a few threads, including in reference to my car.

So is that car really a 914?

You go right into people's threads and give them your opinion. Nobody is going to his ebay ad and saying this stuff - it is a totally separate forum talking about a publicly posted car ad. It is okay to really like it, like it, not like it and so forth.

You can polish a turd all you want, it is still a turd, just smeared around to a nice smooth finish... I think it is a turd, he think it is a golden trophy. Both are right. Cars are personal opinion.

So, when you go to look for a 914, you buy it based on the amazingly solid bodywork the person did to making it look not a 914 then? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Look, my car is a hacked, hacked, hacked loose interpretation of a 914. If you don't like it, that is fine. If nobody likes it that is fine - I built it for me. It's okay to not like this car, and God forbid, even say so. Whoever built it really liked what they were doing; doesn't mean everyone should be kind and caring for their creation because they did a good job ruining the car.

And when the day comes I put mine up for sale, you can go on any forum and say you don't like it or it looks like I did my fair share of meth. Nobody here is going to the ebay ad and hammering him on his classified. That would be incredibly lame (tho' that happens on this forum's classifieds all the time between members which I don't get).

If someone really likes that car and wants to buy it, my opinion is irrelevant to that person. So, what does it matter that it was stated on a separate forum between members. There is a big difference between talking about that "outside" car on this thread and being a member on this board and questioning whether other member's cars are still really a 914.
