I trust no one blew off a finger or sustained any “serious” burns. We pulled up to a party on Friday to a cool surprise; a dinged up 912 on the street. Serious rust, rough interior, oil drips, missing crest… she was beautiful. The wife even thought the hunter green color was awesome. I was in the midst of drinking an oil can and blowing things up when the couple drove off. The wife was convinced I was going to run out and stop them, but I resisted the urge and simply enjoyed the sound of the engine as they drove by.

On another note, I’ve been researching my possible next Porsche project; an electric 914 conversion. I bought an instruction manuel from Electro Automotive out of CA. It’s a fantastic step by step resource; very impressive. Not sure though since the 912 sighting got me thinking… and the latest issue of Excellence Magazine referenced the 10 collectible Porsche you should buy now, and the late 60’s 911Ss sound awesome… then there’s the Beck 550 I’ve been talking about for years… and lets not forget the additional upgrades to my beautiful C4… decisions decisions.
