it was my second car, and was just fine, even with the 1.8 litre. i love the look of the thing, and it attracted lots of attention in highschool, especially in a parking lot full of vw bugs and old muscle cars and such. lost something very immportant to me in that car.

subzero, without a doubt.

914/6 is awesome. Ive seen a stock one race. Mid-engined and fairly light.
Surprisingly close to lightweight 911s
A very misaligned car.
Not the prettiest, but cool.

It's cool, because it's different (in a cool way )

You are not supposed to look at the badge, or know the specs.

Its just the vibe that the car gives off when you look at it. Its a spontaneous thing.

The fact that you guys brought up the VW engine thing tottaly kills the purpose of this game.


Wrong. It is entirely about the specs/features and the wankers who might buy them.

A Corvette might be a fun car to drive but it is uncool because of the morons who own them. Although I could get over the stigma with a new ZR1.

nnnn... no. As much as I like Porsches, this just isn't cool. Porsches per se aren't very cool, and 914 is too much like the Mazda MX-5 and Toyota MR2. A good car, but I can't see it as cool. I don't imagine a cool guy in one of these.

I was going to post a reply, then I realised true ignorance will never learn... anything.
