I wonder how many Ferrari, Corvette and mustang boards are posting links to this thread and laughing at the stupid Porsche owners.

I'd rather have herculiner on my hootus than be associated with some of these posts.

Where's that picture about arguing on the internet when you need it?

you drive it for one run!


this is a serious offer. if you've never driven a 914, this is your chance!
just because i'm such a nice guy ...

Wow your're brave! .some bit$hy aloof Tiptronic Boxster owner might take you up on that offer. Worse yet there might be the rare and dreaded 1st gear corner somewhere on that course.

I dont think I have had such a good laugh over a thread in a long time!

Stirring the pot.....front shirt of a 914 AX shirt.

The T-shirt, not taken to heart is very humorous. I have a 76 911s with CIS issues, no big deal, pain in the ass, but when she is on she is on. I dont take offense to the sympathy wave. Put me down for a shirt! One thing is for sure we all need to check into rehab for obsessive compulsive disorder treatment. Second thought the heck with rehab I am going to go mess with air fuel mix instead.

Speaking as a Corvette guy... y'all would probably recognize the umbrage some Vette guys take when people driving their brand new C6 doesn't return "The Wave." Apparently we go through this with every new generation... somebody driving an older model gets all bent out of shape when somebody driving a newer model doesn't initiate the wave, or worse yet, fails to return the wave. A completely pointless flamewar always ensues. You get pissy people in every group, I suppose.

I wave at sports cars, give a thumbs-up to street rodders, and if the other driver doesn't acknowledge me, it ain't the end of my world. I've got other things to worry about.

LOL...knuckle draggers huh? Hehe. Ok, I'll accept your apology...if you come across me in my silver 914 and I ignore you, I promise, it's not on purpose. 8^)

I remember several years ago, Lyressa was riding shotgun in my 914 for a little while after a fun run up Mulholland. I didn't ignore her, but I don't think I waved ;)

Well, next time I ride shotgun, you'll have to wave at me...I may even wave back!! SmileWavy

I guess since I own a 914, that must make me a pretentious, stuck up b!tchy dyke. Plus it means I have a HUGE penis?!?!:confused:

sammyg2 07-19-2005 02:24 PM

Jenny, you should have told me all that five years ago when I was flirting with you (before your boyfriend). Does he know about your secret?

450knotOffice 07-19-2005 02:36 PM

Ryan, I believe you were one of the first to take offense on this string. Your post certainly wasn't light hearted.

Hmmmm, I'm thinking hermaphrodite! Or possibly she-male. Counseling will help with the confusion.:D

J P Stein 07-19-2005 03:05 PM

Since my car is about 1/3 914, 1/3 911, & 1/3 aftermarket,
I am rabidly ambivalent about this whole thread....:confused:
I even like Vettes.....I think it's fiberglass envy.

The only thing I agree with myself on is the 914 is an ULF.

yes, i was one of the first. i haven't responded much to having mid-year cars dissed on her in a couple of years and indicated as much..struck me as ignorant at the moment that a t-shirt ought to be made that suggests whose cars deserve an approving look or not. this thread is populated with those who agree and those who don't. i could have tempered my initial reply in retrospect and for those who think i started a flame war, my apologies. in the end, it's just my opionion on a subject which as a joke on this board has just grown old. i can take a joke as well as anyone..if i haven't shown sufficient self-effacing humor on a recent thread post of mine then nobody has. anyway, nobody has to care and nobody has to wonder where i stand on others going through trouble to humble another member's source of pride.

And BTW, Porsche owners are making up for thier looks, not thier dicks. It's the
Really Big Truck
owners that have the tiny winkies...

Have can mean a lot of different things.

It depends on what the meaning of "IS" is...

zymurgist 07-19-2005 04:14 PM

red-beard,

As the owner of two "extension-mobiles" I thank you for not outing either of my cars. :D

ficke 07-19-2005 04:32 PM

This started off as one of the funnest threads ever and had me laughing out loud. Then some how peoples feelers got hurt over a light joke pointed originally at the teller, I sure hope nobody parks a black Audi with this bunch:eek:

As a 912, 911, 914-6 previous owner, all I can do is laugh at the 911 "elite" who pay well over what the cars are worth, pay more than the budget of some Third World countries in annual maintanence, and slide around, or even worse - fishtail - whenever it rains........Then you'll get a snicker and a nod from me in my 944 when I'm pushing around bends in the rain at speeds you can only imagine when you drive a 911 LOL!!!
