Saying goodbye....

[Nomar06]

I decided to part ways from the ZHP after some thought about the furture of the car and what it needed to bring it back to a "top notch" status. Without going into too many details, the sum of money and work needed was going to be to big for me to personaly justify spending. I did love the car but I think I ended up with a bad apple, perhaps not properly maintained by the previous owner. Maybe the want for this car when purchasing made me overlook some of the flaws the car might of had at the time of purchase.

I want to thank you all for helping out with the few questions I had throughout the time I was here. There is a great bunch of people here.

I will be putting up some items I have leftover for sale here and a couple other outlets a while after being posted here. Mainly new angel eyes, tires, 5000k bulbs, other small stuff.

Sorry to see you go! But if it just won't work for you, then it just won't work. Good luck on finding / getting / loving your next whip!! :hi :roundel

[Torxuvin]

Sorry to hear that. You should post up what you get next.

[jayjay_dee]

oh no....

[danewilson77]

Damn. Oh hell no!

You're not leaving the forum, are you ????
Just because you will no longer haz ZHP doesn't mean you're not welcome here anymore! :)

[RITmusic2k]

...yeah, otherwise we'd have had to give Marcus the boot a while ago!

[kayger12]

Poorly maintained E46s can be a real headache.

Sorry the car didn't work out for you.

[johnrando]

Sorry to hear, but certainly stick around!

[midlandtech]

No reason to leave the forum... I'm sure the guys and gals around here can offer help on your next ride what ever make it may be.

What are your plans OP?

[Nomar06]

I will try to stick around but overall internet time has taken a hit this past year. Just going out more and doing more "outdoorsy" stuff. Need to really meet a lady friend :wub

I ended up trading in the ZHP for a 2013 Honda Accord Sport in a white orchid pearl color. Yes, in the end I am paying more but the age factor and reliability come into play.

It is a 4 banger and has the CVT trans which make more sense with my 100% city driving. Pretty comfy and cushy ride.

Wow. I didn't realize you were having such horrible reliability issues with the zhp.

Well... It's white.

But looks like a wise choice, nomar. Good car.

[GMATT]

Nice car brother, as others have said stick around! You'll love the gas mileage and the CVT!

Honestly, trading a BMW for a Honda always makes financial sense. Hondas are dead reliable, and awesome on gas. Nowhere near as much fun, but if regular daily driving is your priority, you hit the nail on the head.

I LOVE the way the new Accords look. They have finally gotten some aggressive styling to them; about friggin' time.

Got any pics of the interior?

[Nomar06]

No interior pics...

It's def. the true definition of a DD. It's a cushy ride that not too exciting but if it's reliable like my old Si it will be worth it. I really like some of the tech goodies that are standard. Looking at possibly swapping out the headlights to the LED projector headlights but that will be way down the road if it ends up happening.

The styling did win me over.

[Mike V]

+1 on sticking around. I sold my ZHP over a year ago.

I really like the new Accords. It's nice to see Honda finally sorting out their styling.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

After I sold my zhp I stuck around, too. Great group of people here.

Some day we will be the only active forum based around a car that most of the members no longer own...

As a matter of fact it was:

A car not piloted by a douche bag. :biggrin

Yes, but it's not special in any way.

Don't be afraid to hang out here, man.

It's great to find cool clubs like that who are willing to embrace the change. I have been known to take the vette to meet up with my former M3 club. (before I bought the ZHP)

The family creed has always been you don't have to have a zhp to be a member. Then, once in the family, always in the family (unless you db it up).
