My wife and I purchased our first 914 in 1980, a '73 sunflower yellow 1.7 liter. We called it "Squish", a name she dubbed it because my wife frequently drove places with our two young daughters. The name turned out to be prophetic when a delivery truck with bad brakes plowed into the rear end, totaling the car. In 1992 I purchased an ivory '74 2.0 which I needed for a job transition. "Rolling Thunder" (it needed a new muffler) was my daily driver for a year but was sold to help finance a daughter's first year of college. In 1998 we purchased our current 914, a gorgeous '76 2.0 teener with nepal orange paint we call "Julius" (as in "orange julius... shaken not stirred").
