All I had was this photo from my friend. I told him "that's the type of car where you assume replica until proven otherwise"

He did say it was loud, so maybe someone stuffed a V8 in there.

Was at Lost Trading Post in Wardensville, WV with my 964 today, and while there over the course of an hour, saw about 10 longhoods go by. First one was a couple that looked like they could’ve been the original owners. Then a while later, two more. Than an hour later, 7-8 in a group went by. Lots of different plates, and none looked like VA or WV. An older gentleman talked to us and said he had been seeing them all weekend. Rally going on?

Really cool to see since I very rarely see air cooled 911s while out.

I had just been thinking yesterday how cool it is there are air cooled groups in NC and CA that get together and hang out, and do rallies in the mountains and stuff, and wondered why there wasn’t anything like that here.

Super excited to spot a 914 in the wild today... I wasn't driving mine at the time. This was parked in McLean.

My sister and her partner were in Monteray yesterday, and saw a familiar face. Partner had his camera and snapped this photo with his decidedly NON-outlaw car.

Spotted my car out of the garage on x-mas day for the first time driving in 4.25 years 8) A Christmas miracle.
