It was 1970 I was in college and most of my buddies had muscle cars, but I was driving a 1958 Karmann Ghia, as thats all I could afford. One of my friends got a new 914 and most of the guys gave him a hard time for not getting a "real" car with a big V-8.

But not me, I really enjoyed my version of VW's "sports" car. Anyway, when I got in the 914, first with my buddy driving and then with me, I had no idea that a car could stick to the road like that and handle the corners like it was on rails. That was a far better experience for me than ripping along in straight lines like the muscle cars did. Unfortunately I had to wait another 35 years until I got my Boxster, but now its :dance: .
