Well, about 15 min north of downtown actually. I currently have never owned a BMW but I'm looking to change that really soon. I stumbled upon a ZHP for sale and I didn't know it was a ZHP at first but it's still for sale and as soon as I get rid of my truck, I think I'm gonna get it. I'm going to post the link in the sticky in the classified section right after this. So if you've got a minute, please help me out!

Other than that, I'm married and have a 8 month old. I'm a full-time electrical engineering student at the University of Michigan and I'll be graduating in December (finally) so that pretty consumes all of my time right now! I'm part of the Formula SAE team at UM that build a mini formula car for competition. At almost 90hp and less than 400lbs, it's pretty much a go cart with sport bike performance. I've been a gearhead since before I could drive and love to play with pretty much anything with an engine. Hopefully someday, when I grow up and get a job, I'll have a lot more money to feed my hobbies!

Welcome to the mafia! Electrical engineering is waaaaay beyond my mental capacity. More power to you, man.

Thanks for the welcome. It looks like the ZHP I had my eye on isn't going to work out right now so the search is on...

Tony, we've all been on the hunt for these ZHPs. Welcome to the club. Have fun.

Prepare for your search to take some time. It's worth it, though, when you find the right car.

Cool! And welcome to the Mafia! I raced Formula 5 in Brazil, same concept, but in the beginning we used Cagiva 250cc two stroke engines, those thinghs were beasts, and other then food and gas to go to the tracks, we spent less then $50 to race.
