Talking Team Element in tha House!

well the days of lugging my ton of wet and sand filled gear in either my:

1. old, smelly and often unreliable Jetta

or

2. old, smelly, gas guzzling and often unreliable Bronco

are done.

Honda Element baby!

You might call it ugly.. I say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

Team Element!

GO TEAM!

I give it 3 weeks till it has the "East Beach Funk". Enjoy that new car smell, cuz it ain't gonna last long!
(Anyone remember T-Dubb's Kia?, worst smelliing vehicle EVER!!! )

Team Element-al needs some new blood, you just have to run through the mangroves naked to make it official...
Congratulations Bryan!

It smelled like Sizzling SHIZZLE,(especially after the chinese buffet) but didn't have nearly as much pimp style as my Isuzu truck.
Ahhhh, the good old days, I sure miss not having a payment though.

Had an Element and loved it. We traded it in for a new CRV which just has a better ride. My wife was getting sick in the back seat. That is the only negative of that car is the ride in the back is a bit rough. But I am sure your kite gear takes Dramamine everyday.

my kite instructor likes them so much he has two of them. one of them is for our crew and our gear(its smelly and gritty) and the other is nice and clean for driving the out-of-towner, tourist clients back and forth to the beach for their $100 per hour lessons.
