I picked up my ZHP about a month ago and I've had a grin on my face ever since (except for when I had to pay sales tax). It's an '05 Ci, Titanium Silver, sans rear lip spoiler, Black leather intererior. It's not perfect, but for being seven years old it is pretty close.
My projects, which is kind of a stretch, for now are to: replace the rear view mirror, which is stuck half tinted and has some ugly stuff happening along the lower edge; install an ipod hookup, install yellow lamps for the fog lamps (and possibly the high-beam lamps); and install a better intake.
My way down the road ideas involve doing things like pulleys, a better exhaust (it's almost strange how quiet the car is on the highway coming from driving mustangs), I would love to switch to the silver cube from the black (I think it would go really well with the silver paint).
For now, however, goal one is keeping the car looking as good as it does now.
I'd love to get into doing track days. I live within easy driving distance to the Virginia International Raceway, but for now my work schedule involves weekends... so that's going to have to be put off for awhile.
Some blurbs about me:
I live in Lynchburg VA. Studied English at Lynchburg College, and have most of a Masters in English finished at LC, which I'll be finishing up soon...ish. Most of undergrad study was in Renaissance Lit. I focused as much as possible in grad on Textual Editing, which is basically the process that takes several old printings, and\or the original work to create the text that gets sold. It's a long and tedious process that usually involves looking up a lot of words in the OED and screwing your eyes at smudged type. I've also done some work with Hemmingway, and if only a class in the modernists was offered at my school I would be all over it.
Currently I work for Media General, which owns a lot of newspapers and some TV news. I'm a copy editor and for now split my time between several papers (I think 20 some papers are put together in my office). Sometimes I get a preview of what is happening in my city, but most of the time I know a lot about what is happening in high school sports in southwest Virginia.
Now for the pictures:
