My first car was a 22 year old (at the time) 1964 Triumph TR4 that my dad and I found in a barn. A lot of the issues in this 914 were present on my car as well. My car had a minor engine oil leak, and the oil would drip onto the exhaust system and fill the cabin with smoke. I remember when the brakes went out and I drove the car ~25 miles with nothing but the parking brake. The best was when I got out of this tiny car with manual everything and drove the land-yacht Pontiac Parisienne we used for driver's ed in highschool. Its brakes were so sensitive, and I was so used to having to use a LOT of force to stop the TR4, that the first few times I'd stop the car everybody's seatbelt would lock up.
