looks like most r from no. california, but i still see very few E's out there... i'm in richmond, driving a GG E...... how many think the horn on an E sounds like a baby cow with a gastro-disorder.?... :shock:

misfit - look under the 2nd thread in "Events & Meets" above for
NorCal rally/rendezvous/event/meets activity.

Yeah Misfit, that's why I replaced my sorry sounding E horn with a air driven diesel horn on the roof rack. (10-4 good buddy ----- hawwwwwwnnnnnnnnk HAAAAWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNK!!!)

I just bought a 2WD EX yesterday here in Santa Rosa, CA, about 60 miles north of SF. Love it so far. Will be using it for to carry band equipment and just as a fun, reliable vehicle.

8)

I'm starting to see more on the road. I commute daily Oakland to Santa Clara, 580/880/237. In my neighborhood, I know of two others that live within a couple of blocks.

i am in sf, but commute every day to sunnyvale and so far i have only seen 1 or 2 other elements on the road.

I'm in Concord -- East of San Francisco

SMM 4wd EX

Just recently picked up our SOP! Live in Tracy, but work in the south bay. :)

see you on the road!

btw, the horn is horrible. I'm planning to rip it out and replace it with a set of FIAMM horns (low & high tone 112db)

Right in SF in the Mission. Commute all the way to San Bruno each day. :D

A co-worker just got back from a trip to LA and said there are E's everywhere down there. I've started seeing a few more in the last couple weeks around here.

I live in beautify Oakhurst (between Fresno and Yosemite). I believe there is one other E owner in the area. We have an SOP EX.

Stockton, CA... Yeah the Horn needs to be addressed... I have had people cut me off, and I use the horn, to only relise, I can barely hear it, how can someone else hear it... I replaced it with an aftermarket horn Fiamm... It was only $15, but call it a Big Rig loud horn (High Pitch).... Anyways, I'm still not happy with it's sound quality. I might invest in a high end one later... Anyways see you guys on the road, and if you you see a GG E with Mud Tires, chances are, it's me...

Hello ,my daughter found this site today and got me set up..we are in cen-cal Merced just about halfway between Oakhurst and Stockton.Bought our E [we call it the cube] about two weeks ago .

>>...trip to LA ... there are E's everywhere down there<<

Yes - It's true. I saw 4, FOUR! :o E's (including my 1st SLM) at once in the Albertsons Reseda parking lot today, not including my SOP. I think I'm going to start counting Scions instead :?

I live in Sacramento and bought it in Vallejo. I'm an outside sales rep and my clients are auto, boat and RV dealers. My territory is as far West as Vallejo, as far South as Fresno, as far East as Reno/Tahoe and as far North as Medford, Oregon. So...me and my new H3 will be traveling the freeways all over Northern California, Nevada and Oregon. I'm already counting the other H3's I see. As for the "horn", I haven't even had a chance to honk it yet. I've been too busy showing it off to all my family and friends!!!

I bought my Element on June 1st and yesterday was the first day I have ever seen another Element on the road here in my area. Me and the guy driving the other Element honked, waved, and acted like we were old buddies and I have no idea who this guy was! I guess its the "Brotherhood (or Sisterhood) of the Element". I know there are more Element owners here in SoCal but I have only seen one in a month!....maybe I just don't get out enough :lol:

I'm in Oakland, just got my SSM EX 2WD Element 2 weeks ago and I can't stay out of him. We call him Elmer :P

So far, I haven't seen any other E's on the road since I got mine, but 2 days before I got him, I saw an SSM on Hwy 5 with a bike in the back and that's when I knew I had to have one! I've been mesmerized by the E since I first saw it at a dealer about a month ago.

Since I found this forum early yesterday, I've been reading all the great posts about everything Element and I've been on H and A buying all the accessories I thought I couldn't afford because of dealer prices and installation charges. Thanks club!! I can't tell you how happy I am I found you guys!!! :D

just got my Black EX 2wd on tuesday.

saw another on the way home from the dealer.

we gave the harley hi!

orange, ca

fred

New Element owner(s) in Santa Barbara. Great for the trek to wine country and back.

Cheers

I live in the LA area and I see several every day on my commute.

We always wave if we see each other!

I am up in Crestline, near Lake Arrowhead. The E is the ultimate mountain mobile, and there are at least 3 others up here that I know of.

Not bad for a town with no real permanent population! 4000, I think.

I'm in Sacramento....transplanted from San Francisco. I 've seen a few in the area. I think the horn is ok....much louder than my Civic hatchback horn! :)

Hey Folks! I'm currently in Fresno, CA. on business. This city is loaded with Element Owners! Most of the Elements are fixed up too! Sport Racks, Lowering Kits and they all have aftermarket Tires & Wheels...18", 20", 22" and "Spinners". I'm in Element Heaven. And the Honda Dealers here have Elements on their lots and showrooms with all the Element Accessories installed on them. I finally got a chance to see and touch the large armrest/console. Very cool! I'm definitely getting one of those now!!!

Everytime I see another Element owner I honk and wave at them...it must be the brotherhood or sisterhood of driving and owning something so special and unique.


CENTRAL CALI OWNERS.... WHERE ARE U?

I have to tell you.....there's a lot of ELEMENT LOVE in Fresno! I've been in this city on business for two days now. I've received SO MANY compliments! I wish got this much "positive feedback" in my home town. Here in Fresno, it's (almost) as exciting as when the "New Beetle" came out in 1998. When I bought my New Beetle in 1998, I painted it like "Herbie, The Love Bug". It also had 20" MOMO Wheels, Dual Exhaust, Splash Guards and a Carbon Fiber Dash & Engine Kit. The attention I got driving that around was absolutely CRAZY!!!!

I've had my GG 4wdEX for a few weeks now and couldn't be happier. We've already made a couple of trips up to the Trukee area for hikes and didn't see one other Element on the road. We got a lot of long looks from other drivers and other hikers. I overheard one guy ask his buddy "what kind of vehicle is that?" On one trip we drove about four miles off road to get to a trailhead. Ruts, rocks, bumps, mud, uphill and downhill no problem! This site was a great help when I was considering my purchase. I'm glad to be a member.

Ventura County here......

HI all just got an orange 2WD EX yesterday :D . We love it. A couple of things where funny wile purchasing it in Thousand Oaks CA. North of Los Angeles. Supposedly the E is for younger people, all we observed was all over 40 people taking test drives. Hot car here a little hard to find and little discount to be had. A little coordination required when daughters get in the back with door closing but we will get that down. Thanks for this forum. We will keep in touch.

2003 EX
2001 F150 Super Cru
1998 Aero Star
1993 F150
1966 T Bird

Got to get a bigger garage or less kids.

Mark

I'm in Redwood City, and have seen an SOP at the Century 12 at Whipple, possibly the same SOP in San Carlos at the post office, and that's about it!

I'm trying to get my girlfriend to trade her Escort for an E! Then we'll see even more of them around here.

Misfit,

If you see an EBP EX crossing the bridge on a weekend it is probably me. I live in Santa Rosa but go see the family in Modesto some weekends. C Ya round! 8)

:grin: Here I am! Right here in W. Los Angeles. Bought my new Satin Silver Element AWD EX Auto with Blue body cladding last week end. Had to drive all the way to Palm Springs to get my best deal.
(got a friend who works as a sales mgr.at a Honda dealership out there)

Elements are all over the place in Los Angeles. I see dozens of them everyday. Went to the do it yourself car wash over the week end and there were 3 Elements there at the time! We had a great time washing them and met some new friends. Elements are sooo bitchin! In LA you are what you drive. I am so happy to be driving an Element! Life is cool!

Santa Rosa (hour north of the Golden Gate)

I see three other elements parked at buildings near where I work in Petaluma. I usually see a few on the commute.

The element works great as a bike hauler.

Monterey area here.

Bought our 05 Magnesium EW 4wd in Roseville (sacramento) but live in Redding. Although we are moving down to the sacramento area in a week or so. Great for hauling boxes from town to town. And the dog loves it too.

If any norcal E owners want to cruise up to Reno for Hot August Nights, a couple of us are going up tomorrow(Saturday Aug 6th).

Here's another e owner in beautiful Santa Barbara.

Let's go over the mountains and get sideways!!!

E owner here in very hot Fresno, CA. (28 days straight of over 99 degree weather and a few more to go!) The RR is now looking more like dark pink! :shock: I travel up to NorCal at least every other week and to SoCal once a month. Our dogs love the E.

I'm looking @ starting a Bay Area Element Org. Let me know al who are interested!

I'm in the Nevada City / Grass Valley area. Heading to Baja this week for a surf trip. Calvin (my E) is stoked to go on surfari.

Arch E Type,
That's awesome, hope you get some surf. My friend just got back Baja and he said the surf was going off, warm water, and lots of margaritas.

Be careful with the mexican gas, I hear it's pretty bad for your vehicle. But maybe the E can handle it !!!
