Drove by a gray vert parked on the side of the road just outside Bel Marin Keys (Novato/Norcal area). Couldn't get a picture, but it looked great.. I have a sweet spot for that color

Truth be told....after all these years, I still couldn't tell a wannabe with zhp bumpers aside from the rear bumpers from the real thing in passing. But if they are still or parked, then I would be able to take a closer look.

You can tell. Trust me. Look at lower grill figment and the waviness of the bumper on top of the reinforcement. Of course, these things can be fixed if you know what you are doing, but most people don't take the time.

No way... The Clubsport came with Style 71's and a special rear wing. It's very easy to spot one. Usually Estoril Blue in color, as well. :)

The car I saw was a pre-facelift, identified by the quarter panel turn signals AND what I think was a pre-facelift only color. It was a golden red color. Never seen it on a facelift, but I could be wrong.

I don't know about the color, but there are some ZHP cars with pre-LCI parts like this one. We discussed about it in the FS section:

Yea I remember that. I guess it's possible. I feel the non-zhp modded with zhp parts are much more likely, though.

It was in a thread a while back. Has a bad title. There are no pre facelift ZHPs.

We know. Were talking about ZHPs that might have been retrofitted with pre-facelift body parts.

Saw a silver coupe zhp driving on 101 around Morgan Hill last night. Driver's side door/quarter panel/bumper were all smashed in. As I was approaching I thought he had "stanced" it or something. Some how was still doing 75 just fine. Young kid. Maybe got a deal on it!

Possibly. Hope he fixes it!

Parked next to an Imola Red ZHP a few weeks ago and saw a different IR on Lynn yesterday.

I had just gotten off work this morning and spotted this beautiful Imola Vert parked at MCDonalds when I was grabbing some breakfast. I managed to track down the owner and chat for a bit. Very nice old fellow. Seems we're quite possibly the only ZHP owners in the area lol. Great way to start the morning :)

I saw my first imola ever on my drive to class! I'm in love with that color, it is gorgeous :wub

I'm not sure the woman driving it recognized mine. We ended up at a stoplight next to each other and she eventually waved at me, but how else are you going to respond to a weird stranger who's staring at your car with a smile on her face?

Anyway, that was a good start to the morning :)

I'll get my applications ready to submit and then hopefully go out west somewhere to do field work with botanists/conservationists/that kind of thing. I'll probably earn a pittance but I'll get to spend my time outdoors someplace beautiful. So it's a long process, but I'm really looking forward to the gap year!

FWIW, if you've already taken most of the other physics, you can probably self teach the stuff you need for the rest pretty quickly.

I ran into one of our YoungLife leaders last night. She is in the process of applying to med schools (~15). She said she did well on the MCAT and is so glad. She took the practice portion of the new one and it was very hard. She wasn't prepared for the psych and sociology questions. I think she said the new sections will add an additional 2 hours to the test also. No pressure :D

Love Imola. It's absolutely by far the 2nd best ZHP color. :-)

The new sections add 3 hours, actually, so it's 6 hrs 15 minutes. Rough! But it's still true that it doesn't matter at all how hard the test is, it only matters how relatively prepared you are. So there is hope for us!

I work at a local store called Andy's Market. Yesterday a gray sedan pulled up and today I saw a gray vert. There is also a black coupe that comes by every once in a while. Curious to see if they belong to any of you guys!
