After years of drooling, loads of research, and seemingly eternal waiting, the Blue Streak finally arrived. 2017 CPO BS, PDK (so my loving Bride can enjoy too), PASM, 20” Carerra S Wheels, etc. Sold my last Porsche (Silver ‘75 914 2.0L) in 1984. Thus, I’m no spring chicken…but apparently still great at causing 6-cylinder purists to gnash their teeth J
Blue Streak’s intended purpose is basically track time...no racing…track time. In 1975, as an A&M undergrad, I quickly learned the Texas World Speedway (RIP) night watchman would pretty much allow any yayhoo to run all night for a case of Schlitz. Pretty sure most responsible students had less fun and made fewer lifelong friends than I did while pulling those TWS (RIP) “all nighters”…mostly in a roommate’s Jensen Healy, random girlfriend’s Alfa Spider, and to a lesser extent, another friends Toyota Celica (oh the inhumanity). Wished I’d had it then, but the 914 was acquired post-graduation.
Many, many, many thanks to everyone on this forum! I’m fairly (okay…overly to a fault) analytical. Thus, 718Forum’s “collective” knowledge, opinions, facts, and angst made this belated retirement decision (my gift to me) so much easier than it would have been without you all (originally thought I “needed” a 911S). I look forward to learning more about this new steed, but more importantly, I look forward to getting to know each of you in the near future.
Cheers!
