My Old Porsche 914

This didn't scan too well but it is an old pic that my sister sent to me a week or so ago. Probably the most fun car I ever had. I can recall the year of the car but the pic was taken in 1998.

 

Nice pic, seems like you're thinner now as compared to how you look in the pic.

 

Cool pic, I'm a fan of old Porsches myself! Do you own any other cars or is that your primary vehicle?

 

@ sidney ~ Thanks...yes, in that pic I was about 240 lbs. Now I am staying at about 180.

@ Motorhead ~ At the moment I am car less as I am living in Thailand and don't need one. Usually I had one old sportscar like the 914 and a late model Mercedes, but I preferred the small ones like a 280E.

 

And you look manly and macho there in that pic! Lol.

 

I had no choice in those days! Can't look weak when you are running a business! You should see (perhaps not) me now!

 

Lol, maybe in the US you had a manly image, but over there in Thailand you totally shed that image! You should try chanelling your "macho" side sometime!

 

I think it was a dent. I put that little car through hell and back. Seemed like I was always sending it off to the shop for one thing or another!

The last nice car I had before the second term of King Bush was a 2006 Mercedes e280. And after the bank took away my house, business and everything else that was not superglued to the ground I wound up with a little 2007 Hyundai which was not really bad for the price.

@ sidney! When you post a picture of you on a motorbike, I will post an updated pic of me!

 

Thats an awesome car!! I love it!

 

@ R. Paradon, I don't have a motorbike, but it's quite easy to pose in front of one, lol! But I encourage you to post more pics even if I don't have a motorbike yet, hehe.

 

Will one from 1969 do?

 

What a cutie! The boys must be all over you back then, lol. How old were you in that pic? I would also suggest that you dye your hair, you know it can add up to the charm! ;-)

 

I was 23 or 24 then. As far as dying my hair, no way! Being an elder here deems me automatic respect! LOL Lot of difference then back in the States!

 

I see, having white hair does add an aura of respect and wisdom, come to think of it.

 

I am so happy that you put in the Wisdom! Fortunately there is no test than comes when you get to a certain age!

 

Well even if there's no formal "wisdom test", withstanding the battlefield called "life" is enough to prove that you have it! As for me, I do plan to start coloring my hair when my whites get really noticeable. They're multiplying rapidly in the layers underneath, and I'm only in my 20's! Lol.
