I was 18 and wanted a new Honda 750... Which my parents were against.
They told me to go buy a "nice car".. My dad knew one of the owners of "Park Hagerty Porsche" in Lawrence Mass. He had bought Volkswagens from them for years. There was a 914-6 there that was just traded back for a new 911.. Yeah, my dad co-signed the loan for me... Was a lifetime ago  |
