I would like to relate my personal experience with those junky Porsches. In
1958 I bought a new Porshe. After 100,000 miles I decided to trade it for a
1962 model because I thought it was worn out. I drove the second one for
200,000 miles and thought It must be worn out for shure, so again I made a
swap, this time for one of those junky 1970 model 914's. The 914 now has
285,000 miles on it and it is still being used daily.  The gas milage is only
34 mpg.  It is on its third set of tires and I had to put a new clutch into it
after only 200,000 miles.  I guess I'll never buy a piece of junk like that
again.  I doubt that any car made in the future could be that junky.
