Hello,

My name is Joe, and I purchased my 2005 ZHP (Jet Black) from a dealer in SoCal last spring. I've driven it home to VA, to Maine and the Florida Keys, and everywhere in between. I travel for a living, going around the country working nuclear power plant outages. So far, the car has been good to me. Aside from FCABs, tires, and an oil change, the only issue I've had was a cracked coolant expansion tank that the dealer sorted out for me. I am in my early 30s, married with a 2 year old, so a sedan was a minimum - I wasn't about to try to shoehorn a rear facing child seat into an e46 M3 or BRZ (my other option while deciding on a car), and the ZHP gives me enough fun to keep me interested and involved, but is comfortable and fairly good on fuel, which helps immensely when you have to drive 800 miles in a day to get to the next job.

Welcome. Jet Black FTW! And of course, we agree that the zhp is the perfect choice for your (or most, lol) situations. Guessing you were out here for San Onofre? Also, curious, what dealer did you get it from? Finally, pics please.

I spent 9 months at San onofre last year, and can't wait to go back. I bought the car at Shelley in Buena Park.
