This morning, in the barn at Gary Emory's celebration of life in McMinnville, I felt his presence peeking out at us, checking in on what he'd see.
And what a sight it was. Hundreds gathered. Stories shared. Laughter mixed with tears. Pancakes on the farm. Cars everywhere. Friends who traveled from near and far. Exactly as he would have wanted it.
Earlier this year, I had the privilege of spending a day with Gary. He shared stories I'll carry forever—tales of his father Neil's Valley Custom Shop, of rescuing parts from the crusher, of being called an "Outlaw" and wearing it as a badge of honor, of building the first Baja Bug because he couldn't afford a Manx, of turning a wrecked 914-6 into a bed for Rod when he was little.
We talked about projects ahead. Plans we'd never get to finish together.
But standing in that barn today with his friends, surrounded by decades of parts he saved, by the family he loved, by the community he built, I realized Gary's greatest project was already complete: he showed us how to live with passion, preserve with purpose, create without apology, and put good into the world.
To Rod, Linda, Amy, Zayne, Jayde, and the entire Emory family: thank you for sharing him with all of us. Your father, husband, and grandfather didn't just build cars and save parts. He built a legacy of creativity, community, and courage.
The Original Outlaw is gone, but the good he put into the world? That's eternal. It's in the massive crowd that gathered today. It's alive and well in Rod, Amy, Zayne, and Jayde. Just as Neil's legacy lived on in Gary, Gary's legacy lives on in every car the Emory family builds, every person they inspire, every community they create.
You're still bringing people together, Gary. You always will be.
Rest in peace, my friend. Your barn still stands. Your stories still echo. Your spirit lives on in the hands and hearts of those who carry your name and your vision forward.
Thank you for putting so much good into the world.

🎁 Are you are Hard to Shop for? They have no idea what you need for your 914. What if you could take 20% off anything we make, when you wanted it?🎁

If they ask you what you want and you just answered "I don't know" or "I'm good" (again). We all know where that leads... another year of socks. 🧦

Time to upgrade that wishlist! Here's your chance to be that person who's ACTUALLY stoked on Christmas morning instead of practicing your "oh... socks... thanks" face.

# # 🔥 SHOW THEM THIS: CYBER WEEK EXCLUSIVE
Digital gift cards at 20% off = Black Friday savings whenever you need them! (Like that perfect Saturday when you're finally ready to tackle that project you've been dreaming about)

Why this beats another pack of socks:
✨ YOU choose exactly what you need, when you need it
✨ They save 20% NOW on every gift card
✨ Valid whenever you're ready to order
✨ No more fake smiles on Christmas morning
✨ Turn those skeptical looks into "I helped make that happen" smiles

The math that makes everyone happy:
• They spend $800 = You get $1000 in parts
• They spend $400 = You get $500 in parts
• They spend $80 = You get $100 in parts

# # 🧢 AND DON'T FORGET THESE...
LIMITED EDITION 914RUBBER HATS
The same premium New Era snapbacks that turned heads at this year's biggest air-cooled events. (Also perfect for hiding your face when you get more socks anyway 😆)

# # 📅 2025 COMMUNITY CALENDAR - LAST CHANCE!
The gift that gives twice:
✨ Your 914 might be featured!
✨ Hidden discount codes = secret savings all year
✨ 50% of calendar sales donated to 914World.com
✨ Limited quantity - once they're gone, they're gone!

❤️ WHY 914RUBBER GIFTS RULE
We're not Amazon - we're 914 enthusiasts just like you, making the parts that keep our cars on the road. Every purchase helps develop more parts for our community.

🎯 HOW TO DROP THE HINT:
• Tag them in this post
• "Accidentally" leave this open on their computer
• Share it with the caption "Dear Santa... 😉"
• Text them "Look what I actually want for Christmas 😏"

🚨 HURRY! Before the sock drawer gets any fuller! 🚨

PS: If they ask "Don't you have enough car stuff?" just remind them this is supporting the only community that actually enjoys listening to your car stories. That usually works. 😎

Who wants to see THAT movie??? 🎬

At Nine-Fourteen Rubber, we're as passionate about tradition as we are about Porsches. While everyone else turned Black Friday into a month-long online marathon, we're keeping it old school.

Just like your air-cooled Porsche, some things are worth doing the right way.

Sure, we manufacture more Nine-fourteen parts than anyone... but we're still just a small family business with limited capacity. That means when our stock is gone, it's gone.

❗DON'T WAIT - Your winter project needs these parts, and they won't last long!

BLACK FRIDAY WEEKEND ONLY
November 29th - December 1st
914rubber.com

Real Parts. Real Community. Not A Real Movie... Yet. 😉
