Hello everybody! Been lurking on here for a while and it seems like a sweet spot to meet some like-minded folks. A little about me: finishing my degree in mechanical engineering in Milwaukee, WI, love all things cars such as going to Chicago every year for the auto show and Road America for races all summer.

Currently do not own a ZHP or BMW in general, but I'm in the hunt (WTB post coming soon). Drove my first ZHP today (convertible is not for me, will share in classifieds as it is not posted there) and confirmed for myself that it is the car for me!

Pictures of my car history for those who care:
First car at 16: 1997 Grand Prix GTP (long gone)
19989
Second car after high school/my baby: 1992 Dodge Stealth RT/TT (for sale right now)
19990
Winter beater because Stealth sat in heated storage each winter: 1995 Ranger (sold two weeks ago)(water underneath...)
19991

Thanks everyone. Not able to make it out to Ohio this weekend with such short notice. Would've been a nice 6.5 hr cruise in my new ZHP if I had it!

If you're ever in Wisconsin, be sure to try any of New Glarus's beers. They are only sold here and are pretty much all fantastic!

Haha, I'm quite well acquainted with their offerings... Haven't had a chance to get up there recently, though, so my stockpile is running low! :eek

UW-Mil haha. Looking at UW-Madison for master's in engineering. Probably going to apply there and see what happens.

Thanks everyone! I found the car and brought it home! 11 hour round trip to Davenport, Iowa and back was quite the hall for a having to work the day of and the next morning. The car has 114k miles and is silver gray on black leather with the cold weather package. The guy I purchased from was a BMW enthusiast (surprised he was not on here) with an orange 1M (nice weather car), E92 M3 with ESS supercharger (track car-ish), E90 LCI 335xi (winter car), and X3 (wife's car). 20600206012060220603206042060520606

Congrats ! Your ZHP looks super clean. How many miles on the clock ?

Closer to 115K miles after driving it home and around here. The guy gave me a list of Zaino products he used on it and because the paint and leather look so nice I'm going to keep it going. I also got style 23 16" rims with snow tires on them for the winter (yes, I will be driving this in the winter).
