That will be a bittersweet moment Pete when you let your ZHP go.

thanks, I'm clearly struggling with it!
hmmmm... I like this idea! But my daughter just said "don't tell Mom!" So, need to do some "negotiating at home" - sell them both while the miles are attractive to buyers and they'll bring a premium, and use some of the proceeds to find a 6MT ZHP coupe or wagon to help mitigate my ZHP withdrawal symptoms! Of course my ZHP vert was a fair weather only ride, and a coupe would see more service than that. But still end up with my 2 dream cars.....
let the process begin - stakeholder negotiations

Wow, what a beaut, congrats! Tough call. I wld say keep the zhp but it's gotta feel so slow now compared to those two.

But Pete would have two very different cars, each with their very own unique characters to appreciate.
Since Pete already owns his ZHP, he knows the actual condition of this car maintenance-wise so he won’t have to put in additional funds to sort it out and can just enjoy driving it whenever he wants to just cruise in it
You know the E46 ZHP is a unique car to own and drive. It took me to sell mine and be without it for a few years to realize just how special these cars are. Once I got back in and started to drive it all came back to me

I won't be bringing the ZHP or the E92 out of storage until at least April. That will be the 1st time I can really compare all 3 cars. That might be a difficult day when I realize I can't bring myself to part with any of them

Pete, I understand your dilemma. I am in the same position. My son's car was totaled (rear ended) last August and he took my 435ix convertible. He bought a Ridgeline last week. I am back to driving the 435iX and saying to myself, wow, absence truly does make the heart fonder as its MPPK kit and turbo means more to me now than when it was purchased in 2018. With knee replacement surgery coming up I'm going your route and trimming the herd. Despite all the work done to the ZHP, it is drawing the short straw because of 6MT and because I have had six fun years of fixing up stuff with the available hours more importantly now being reserved for our grandchild and our business. The issue is finding someone who loves a high mileage ZHP convertible and keeping it up as much as I have. Money is not important, sending it to a good home is what is important to me. Pete, are you facing the same feelings and economic viewpoint as me? Inquiring minds want to know . . . and if anyone has advice, I am all ears.
