Jon,
Dang it, so maybe one of my kids can earn a scholarship and/or pay for their own way for a bit of college, which one do I stick with that bill, lol. I'm not totally out yet but probably only about a 10% chance of having a viable chance of convincing GiGi. Soccer game at same place on Sat, 11-12, let's get together afterward so you can test drive an X5 with sport pkg.

Mafia Family,
If you're even semi thinking you might, PM Jon and you'll be pleasantly surprised that he's very reasonable and willing to give a family member a great deal. I've known about this upcoming sale for a little while and torment myself multiple times a day.

Keith,
You can do this based on the thought process you shared with respect to that Ohio dealer a couple weeks ago.

One unfortunate possible byproduct of our shenanigans with Keith is that silent observers of this thread might think the car is actually sold.

Just saying, though, if you're an onlooker, it's still for sale. Except it's sold to Keith. It has something to do with the commutative property.

I believe that with an ESS TS, the car is a lot more reliable than stock. The supercharger has very little maintenance. I will thoroughly go over the car to the future owner. If youre slightly mechanical, this is easy to work on.

And YES its still for sale. :-)

So I went to see Jon today, he's considering an X5 for his wife and I took my wife's X5 out for him to test drive. He really liked it. And he returned the favor, I drove his ZHP with him encouraging me to get on it, told me I wasn't pushing it hard enough.

OOOOOMMMMMFFFFFGGGGG!!!!!!!

That old Cadillac commercial -- when you turn your car on, does it return the favor, yes ABSOLUTELY!!!

The cosmetic & mechanical aspects of Jon's car are impeccable, it's virtually a brand new car (45K miles). I want, badly, please someone buy this before I upset the cosmic world which includes martial bliss in our home.

In fact, it's already done.

Nope, Brett & I have a deal established on mine, he pays half, I've already committed. But he doesn't get his license for 7 more months so I have to afford him the opportunity to save the specific amount he needs. I'm confident he'll get there, can't pressure him to do it earlier, I gave Brett my word, this dad can't and will not go back on that.

So.... You have 3....Or 2 ZHP's. I guess I thought you had three now.

Bruce, that's awesome that you're doing this for Brett! :thumbsup

As much as I would love to buy this car to keep until Jon can buy it back from me, I have way too much going on at my end. I hate to see this go with as much work and TLC Jon has put into her.....hopefully someone here will grab this beautiful car and give her the home she deserves....

No, I was testing it for Keith's benefit. The last time I test drove the perfect ZHP, Keith bought it a week or two later.

Kayger, it's unfreakingbelievable, normal ZHP acceleration is boring after some seat time in Jon's.

Good to see you and Preston today. It was fun driving your X5 and I want badly.
Although you didnt push it too much, hope you had fun. :-). Thanks for the positive feedback.

Killing me too brother, an unused heloc just begging to be utilized, had the heloc checkbook with me today and could have easily closed this, I was very tempted. But the old adage, happy wife, happy life was playing in the back of my head, kind of enjoy the happy wife scenario.

You, on the other hand Keith, have quasi-spousal approval.

But the girls are growing up, wouldn't it be nice for them to let themselves in and out of their own doors when you're running them to their various sporting events, practices, & rehearsals? Come on, you know it would.

Also that exhaust, if you were late picking them up after a practice, they could just follow the tone to daddy's car, very distinctive.

After my wash and wax weekend and a spirited drive, I was again reminded that I absolutely love everything about my ZHP.

She's gonna stick around for a while.
