Today I cried.
 

Well, almost.....There is a lot more to life than cars, but my first reborn (basket case I actually drove for about two years) went to the crusher today...

74 2.0L that became a 1.8L then was carbed, and at some point had a 75 front clip welded on. The A/C was traded at some point, a rusted Tab bottle cap, a .45 cal bullet hole in the passenger floor pan, and a syringe needle from and old school glass syringe were found among the PO's fiberglass rust-eration. Some PO used drafting dots (masking tape) for a few of the electrical repairs...along will solid core copper wire, I still remember driving and noticing the fire under the dash. Should I mention the Riviara wheels and the purple window tint.


Still I wasted....eh....invested a great deal of time into that little car. I couldn't bear to watch the wrecker drive off with the pathetic shell of a friend.....er....car.


Rust in pieces little guy.........

I'm sorry JP, to hear your plight
with which to fight...... back the tears
for your 'lil Buddy.

Today is today but I see that your sorrow
will ease by tomorrow........ with the passing
sight of your next 914.

Just like a pet get another one fast
and the hurt will pass......... leaving fond memories.

Chin up JP. There's another lurking just around the corner.<sniff>

In Germany they have a saying: 914's are like bus's.
A. There'll be another one by in a few minutes
B. Especially the motor (VW bus's, that is)

Sorry to hear of the loss of another 914.

Such a terrible waist of a fine German automobile. If on the PO would have cared for the car...

Great poetry though
