    All BMW 330 ZHP owners should buy another car!

    OK, before you flame me .... let me explain.

    My ZHP is a garage queen, only coming out for nice weather and to stretch her legs. I've got a 97 Landcruiser I drove every day to work (100 miles round trip). Go figure, gas mileage sucks (about 13.5 MPGs). So since I was spending $600 month in gas, I figured go and buy a Honda Civic. Car payment $200, gas $250 = saving $150 per month.

    I've been driving my 2002 Honda Civic LX with 95k miles for about 2 weeks now. I decided since the snow was gone, let's break out the queen and let the breeze blow the dust off of her. WOW! telapathic steering and acceleration. Geez, I'd forgotten how incredible this car was.

    Everybody should by a Civic, just so they can rediscover their ZHP...

    FB, you know we don't flame each other on this site. No worries there.

    But I hear you. My primary driver is a Jeep Grand Cherokee. It does the job that I ask of it. But it's always a joy to jump into one of my other cars -- for a change of pace.

    HAHAHA my friend is the exact same way with his M3. He never drives it and instead drives his parents 97 Landcruise (awesome SUV by the way).

    I wish I had the money to afford a second car. Being only 20, taking a break from college, and looking for a new job doesn't qualify me for owning a second car.

    I'm the opposite lol.

    I drove my 300ZX turbo and the srt4 then got into the ZHP, much slower and heavier than both.

    I will remedy that with the turbocharger

    Very true. I sat in my passenger seat when I let my dad drive and I was soo bored! The driver's seat is the best position!

    Doesn't it handle better than at least the SRT4? I didn't think you can get much in the handling department from an overworked FWD car. Is this true at all?
    I always thought anything over around 250hp in a FWD would be a waste, but I've never owned one so I wouldn't know.

    It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

    I dont know anything about em, but aren't SRT-4s AWD??

    My FWD Jetta 1.8T with 180hp is a fairly quick car. It handles really pretty good, but at limits, you know it's a FWD
