Here I am... with a ZHP

[PirateZHP]

Hello All,

Some of you may know, but I bought Hokie's ZHP this weekend. It is a 2003 sedan with jet black with sand leather and black cube trim. Hokie has done an awesome job with the mechanical maintenance. The car drives phenomenally! There are things here and there that I will be working on, but the car is SOLID. As a background for you all, I came from DD-ing a four cyl Honda Accord (2 different ones, actually) for the past 12+ years... so this thing is AWESOME to drive!

I am pumped to be part of this community because I have seen the support that everyone has for each other on the site, and know that there are so many answers to so many questions on here.

Glad to meet you all!
Matt

Here's the question... to get a custom license plate or not... thoughts? suggestions on what to get?

[fredo]

How about ... 03 ZHP ?

[fredo]

Another option: E46 ZHP.

Dane, I was thinking about that. That may be the winner.

Welcome.

Doesn't NC allow 8 letters? If so, maybe PIR8ZHIP -- a play on ship while still being able to see ZHP.

Yes they do... and that is a cool idea. Thanks, BCS.

Welcome. Ooh, black does look good clean.

Welcome. Ooh, black does look good clean.

For the 30 minutes after you wash it and before you drive it, it does look sexy! Then it gets dirty again. My new car is also jet black just because it looks so damn good clean!

[johnrando]

Welcome and congrats on getting a great car.

Welcome Matt...

[cakM3]

Welcome and congrats on the ZHP Matt! :thumbsup

[PirateZHP]

Thanks, everyone! I am pumped! I enjoy this car and fall more and more in love with it every time I drive it. Planning on giving it a serious bath this weekend!

Yeah I apologize about not being able to give it a proper detail before handing it off to you. Once you do it though you'll see that the paint still has a lot of shine and depth :thumbsup

No problem, Chris. It will be fun either way. There is a new love in my life, and she deserves to be pampered! ...Although it will be filthy 10 minutes after I clean it.

Welcome to the family Matt. Are you by chance a Pittsburgh Pirates fan?

Adolfo,
Come on, you're the only Pitt fan left. He's from NC so gotta be an ECSU Pirates fan.

[danewilson77]

He's not the only one. Been my team since the 70's.

[BCS_ZHP]

Yes the 70's, mullets, disco, Pet Rocks, Pittsburgh Pirates :facepalm ... Catching the trend??

[Pip]

Lol I rock the pirates hat every so often.

Welcome and great choice on the car! Looking forward to seeing more updates.

Edit: Took out my hijack.

[johnrando]

Another thread jack==> I was never a fan of the Pirates, didn't like the uniforms back then, and the "We Are Family" didn't resonate with me. HOW-EV-A, it's good to see a once proud franchise doing well again, and I do like the uni's/hats now (for what that's worth) :) I hope they do well (except for against my Dodgers).

[PirateZHP]

Whoa whoa whoa... Let's not ruin my name on here by thinking about the Pittsburgh Pirates! East Carolina University Pirates is the reference.

[Hornung418]

Welcome to the fold. Enjoy the new car!

From a GS3, this was sent.

[johnrando]

Ooop! Wrong Pirates. I know Bruce mentioned THOSE Pirates. Didn't Lou Holtz's kid (Skip) coach at the correct Pirates?

[PirateZHP]

Skip did coach the ECU Pirates. Actually, he got the program back on track and winning some games! I have one of those stadium pictures, and at the bottom it says "In Skip We Trust".

Welcome to another eastern NC mafioso. That makes a total of two of us.

I have been a Pittsburgh fan since 1966...through thick and thin. It's great to see them winning. 20 years is a long time.

Ken, I am in Raleigh. We will have to make some sort of trip either way to get some NC ZHPs together.

[Hornung418]

Kyle is having a meet in his neck of the woods sometime soon. Y'all should go!

[QC_ZHP]

Carolina ZHP meet. There's plenty of us to do it.

[PirateZHP]

QC,

I lived in Charlotte for a couple years. Loved it down there!

I am definitely down to try to get some people together!

[QC_ZHP]

Oh yeah, Charlotte's real nice. My sister as well as a few friends live in Raleigh, not a bad city either!
