How many of you can say you own your "dream car"? I can!




So I know this is a little late but I finally found some time to write about my new BMW ZHP. So the title says "dream car" and some of you may say, "how in the world is a 2004 BMW 330i ZHP a dream car?" And on the surface I can understand your thought. I mean, most true dream cars are things like a Bugati Veyron, Ferrari Enzo, Porsche GTR3, or even a Ford GT. However the ZHP is still my dream car for a few reasons. 1. Unlike the above listed cars, I bought it for $10k, so I can actually own one. 2. You can drive it everyday and not need back surgery. 3. Every cop in town won't notice me 4. It pulls down 30mpg's on the highway.

The bottom line is I am having a blast in the vehicle. It isn't the most powerful car out there with only 235hp, and it's suspension is modest by comparison of some race tuned cars, but it is a complete package for those that want to DRIVE and enjoy every second.

I can't tell the you the sheer joy I get while burning up the curvy back roads by my home. Or the rush I get when I take an off ramp at double the posted speed. And all the while the car is very tame and very confident. You simply put it where you want it and go. BMW built a purposeful car with the ZHP, and I LOVE it!

And while future write-ups of things I will be doing are coming, for now just let me say if you don't have one, get one. It is a great car!
