1975 Porsche 914

I've had my 914 longer than any vehicle in the collection.  I purchased this in 2000 from a gentleman in Santa Clarita California off of eBay.  A friend of mine and I drove out to pick up the car and drove it back to Texas.  I remember my father telling me when I was much younger how rough riding these were.  He was not wrong.  With seats consisting of wood, one inch of foam, and leatherette you are definitely not floating on a cloud.  

I've put approximately 30,000 miles on the car.  It's a blast to drive.  3rd gear high RPMs merging on the highway with that engine pounding away behind you sounds amazing.

Not a good high speed car.  Around 90ish the steering gets *very* light and it feels about ready to go airborne.  Lower speeds on twistys is where the car comes alive.  

While it starts every time it has a few issues.  My misplaced trust in a classic Porsche specialist in Dallas lead me to park it due to "unresolvable" issues.  I now know the few issues it has are extremely common, easily fixed, and are largely seen as "914 101" type issues.  I assume I was being taken advantage of.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fortunately the PNW is a haven for the 914.  I've seen more in the few years than in the 20+ years I owned it in Texas.  It starts, runs, drives, and stops but needs sorting before going back on the road.  With several highly reputable places to choose from I should have it back on the road in the near future.
