Back in the olden days right after I ordered my 1974 914 2.0 the wait for it to come in was months and pure torture to my young mind. Digital watches had just come out and were hundreds of dollars and were impossible to read outside. Just tiny red numbers on a black background. I wanted one but I had to settle for a cool analog watch that had an alarm feature. I had it set for 9:14 AM and I called the dealer every day asking if my car was coming in and the lying bastards would say "It will be tomorrow" so I called them the next day. The phone number was 277-1700. Finally I got to pick up my new baby on Friday the 13th. 9-13-74. It would have been cooler to get in on 9-14-74 but that was a Saturday. I brought it back in to the dealer for the first oil change recommended by owner's manual on Monday morning. 600 miles in one weekend and I was just driving around having fun, no road trips.
