Regardless, it's a moot point for you. I hope you love the hell out of your zhp at least until the lease is up. And Clyde, you wouldn't have been hard to find. Yeah, it's black, it's headed east, and it's going triple digits. |

Yes, I would have gone east...but not until after driving 20 miles or so south. |

but i'm willing to stand behind my words with a clear and defined bet --all moober (goober) has to do is say "they stink" or "they're better" or "they're the same". something easy like a coffee and a dunkin donut or something. i tried to email hack to get his email address to pay my debt on the bet but he's never gotten back to me. oh well. $25 amazon certificate doesn't light his fire. i could re-apply it to this bet. the problem is, mbr is already committed to not buying the re040s again........

The base Boxster I drove had PS2's but it was relatively cold (30's) and the 17" tires had lots of sidewall (similar to a 16" 3er tire), so it wasn;t a fair comparison to 18" RE 040's. The Boxster S has 18" wheels std (sidewall similar to 17" 3er tires) or optional 19" tires (with a sidewall similar to my RE 040's). All that said, the 17" PS2's felt great despite all that. |

Have we gotten old enough that we can be nostalgic about the cars we once owned?
A twitter conversation led me to find an ad on BaT from a couple of years ago for a really nice 2003 Imola red ZHP sedan. It turns out it was the very same car that a friend of mine owned in 2005, which led in a relatively straight line to me purchasing the car at the top of this (very old) thread. Implausibly, my friend's old car is once again for sale right now, and honestly it looks like it's been well cared for and had some very nice mods: https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...CarId=20b94e99 But, I wondered, what about my ZHP, the one TD and Mrs. TD and I drove when it had 6 miles on it? I dug up my old window sticker and sure enough, it's out there. Or at least, it was 3 years ago: http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showt...iles&styleid=7 Pretty crazy to look at that pic and think it's the same car I brought my first kid home from the hospital in. |

That was a great and beautiful car. Particularly in the early/mid ‘00’s and for the money. It was my first new car too. I really liked it.
