When I was 18, a friend bought a brand new 1975 914 1.8. When I drove it, I couldn't believe how well it handled. At the time, I was ignorant of the "not a real Porsche" label on these cars. Also didn't realize that this '75 1.8 was the slowest of all the 914's, just knew that it handled like a go kart. I bought a used one in 1977. Loved the handling but got tired of getting my doors blown off. So.....

1973 911T in 1978 (for $10k,what were RS's going for?)
1970 914/6 in 1980 (owned by Hugh Downs, who?)
1970 914/6 in 1982
1970 914/6 in 1986
1970 914/6 in 1988 (steel GT flares. wish i still had it)
1978 911SC in 1988 (told my wife it was "her" car)
1975 914/6 in 1991 (2.6L, with 2.8rsr pist/cyl)
1989 944T in 1993 (13k miles, cool car)
1970 914/6 in 1997 (3.0 hi comp, see a pattern?)
1973 911T in 2002 (full circle?, will be autox/street)

Nice trip down memory lane.
