Why a 914 is superior to a 911/912E

[JP Noonan]

The 914 has front hood "springs" the 911 body style has "gas struts".

When the springs on a 914 go bad you just stretch them up a notch, or at worst the hood sags.

On a 911 you (well me actually) use your great grandfathers carpenter square to hold the hood up while you (again I mean "me") remove the gas tank... and at 19:45 at night, without a light, without a brain... bump... what wassss OOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!!


After the offical Florida recount:

5 staples in the receeding hairline,

4 hours in the ER with your MOM telling you about all the times when you (again me) "bonked" your head when you were three,

12 Darvacets,

1 Tetnus shot,

and a $175 ER bill in a pear tree.....


Please, be safe everyone, use jack stands, not a jack or air bags. Use a colapsable hood support not a carpenders square. And PLEASE don't work on an incline.


Peace in the middle east...

You mean it bit you?
Kind of reminds me of the time I broke one of my index teeth while rigging a sailboat... Being Canadian, I was too embarrassed to admit that it wasn't from playing hockey.
or when my buddy accidentally dropped his drill into his boot while standing on a ladder. He regained consciousness lying on his back on top of the montain bike that cushioned his fall. Yeeouch.

Sound like when I had a Beetle.

If you guys know how a Beetle engine lid is held down, its a hook shaped latch.

I was setting the timing and I got nailed by the coil wire. The shock made me jump and hit my head on the wonderful hook latch.

16 stitches from the hairline on my forehead back.

The doctor was more concerned with my heart condition from being "electrocuted".
