Anyone in VA or MD?? Im in Fairfax, VA....and have seen maybe three Elements to this day. Anyone around? :?:

I'm up in Leeburg, working in Fairfax. I have a Silver EX I picked it up right as they became available in December; I've only seen a 1 Blue and 1 Black Element on the road to-date around here.....

nice...i have a silver ex as well........im near Fair Oaks Mall

I'm way down in Lynchburg, considered another State by a lot of you northerners (g).

i'm in frederick, md with a silver. there is someone in my neighborhood who i've seen twice with a GG. and i've seen a blue one at the chinese place i go for lunch.

Hi all,

Was looking to see if there was going to be a thread for the mid-Atlantic states! I live in Takoma Park, MD (suburb of DC) and bought my silver EX at the end of March. I have YET to see ANY elements on the road. I feel kinda lonely! Absolutely LOVE my element though.

Richmond here....EBP EX AT 4WD. Seen about 3 on the road here but I'm sure there are more... Had mine since this Monday.

I am in Bowie MD. Got my SOP Element from Honda of Bowie 3 weeks ago. If a local club starts up count me in!

Hey all Rhodi from Richmond here- I have a Blue DX and so far have seen one silver and one blue- would love to get together with other VA elementals!

What do you guys think about a little get together at Burke Lake Park or Tyson's corner this weekend? I am trying to get a club together as well. Let me know.

Peace

It would have to be on Sunday for me, but I would definitely be interested.

sunday is good.........what about Tyson's at the TGI Friday's (the toilet bowl)? The parking deck has a lot of space....or Burke Lake.

Just got by Eternal Blue Element on Monday night and love it!!! :D

I'm a very proud Element owner in ALEXANDRIA. I wish I could say that I haven't seen many around - and actually I haven't. But two days after I parked my GG E in the driveway, our neighbors three-doors down brought home their new GG E - EXACTLY THE SAME. :shock: At least all the neighbors know I got mine first!

I love everything about it. I've given tours everytime I get gas.

P.S. I got mine April 11. Traded in my '01 CR-V - so far it's one of the best decisions I've made.

I live in Bowie, MD and have a Sunset Orange Pearl E.

I'm from the Norfolk area. From the sounds of it most of you are way up north. I have an SOP E and love it. I was actually up in Stafford VA for Easter.

I live in the Hampton Roads area and would love to go to an event in VA.

I have a Sunset Orange Pearl EX. Just the normal store bought kind. However, I am searching for Chrome parts and add ons, to make her unique! I am in Hagerstown MD and I see them everywhere as I drive all over the region in my big truck. I didn't like them at first! Soooooooooo I was off from work one day and my son and I went to JUST LOOK at one.
Now I am the proud owner of one. I was amazed at all the head and leg room, also the opening of the doors. Now the 2 girls can get in without struggling around the seat! The seat belts could have been put on the seats instead of the doors! It handles great! But now this creates a different problem.........How do I Keep my 16 year old out of the driver's seat? I did have the windows tinted to match all the way around!

I am in Va beach. I have a shoreline Mist 2WD EX. I want to get a club going in the area any takers?

Definitely count me in! I'd love to get together for a meet or drive somewhere. I just don't have time to be the one to organize it right now. I live in Yorktown (closer to Hampton) but I go to ODU and don't mind driving to the beach.

My daughter floats betweeen Lynchburg and Northern VA in her GG AWD 5 speed.

well lets try to get something going in the next couple of weeks say a meet a brewsters ice cream parlor on indian river rd. in Va beach next Sun or Sat in the evening

This is Que. Just picked up my E July 19. Loving it!

Just realized I haven't posted here yet....

Owner of a SOP 4WD since July 5th....

Located in Manassas, VA....usually on RT 66 from Manassas to Fairfax, M-F around 8:10-8:30 :) :)

I love love love my E :!: :!:

I'm in Baltimore with a Shoreline Mist. I work in Owings Mills, and saw someone with my same color earlier this week on 695. Are you out there?

Seems to be a lot of us in Bmore. Let's get together sometime.

E.

In Baltimore with a GG EX, took delivery almost 2 weeks ago. Can be seen commuting to/from NoVA for work :)

Kttn: I used to live in Manassas, over by Costco. :wink:

Another Baltimore E here! Live in Lauraville neighborhood; work at Bayview Medical Center. Often drive to Rehoboth Beach on weekends.

Baltimore must be the Element capital of the East. I have a SOP AWD EX and live in Charles Village, less than two blocks from Anderson Honda, where I purchased my Element.

Near Arundel Monstrosity...er Mills.

Hi all!

I'm not from Baltimore, but I just drove my E through there on a roadtrip from VA to Salem, MA. It was the first long trip we'd taken and our E did great! I love it!!! BTW, we counted 20 other Es on the road there and back.

Let's get together VA people! I just saw the post above about meeting in VA Beach...sounds good to me! Want to try again?

what up you all??
bOOmEr's owner here!!! from MD! Whats up out there???

I'VE SEEN A BUNCH IN THE GLEN BURNIE ANNAPOLIS AREA.I HAVE A SHORELINE MIST AND A CO WORKER HAS THE ORANGE WITH THE PANELS PANITED TO MATCH A COACH TONY COME UP TO HONDA OF ANNAPOLIS AND ASK FOR CHRIS I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOUR E

:D I live in the Rose Hill area of Alexandria, have owned my SOP E since March and totally totally LOVE IT!!! :P :P

I am telling everyone I meet, see, or read here online about the www.HondaElement.meetup.com site. The DC Chapter has 6 members and we are looking at our first real meetup this next month!! :o :o

I'm totally excited about this and just can't wait. If any of you are intersted, even those of you outside the DC Metro area, stay in touch thru PM and I'll let you know then When and Where and time of our event!!!

I bought my 2003 SSM 4WD 5-speed EX last night, and so far I love it! Since I'd been researching and saving for this car since April, there was little doubt I would feel any other way. I've seen many Elements since they were released, but only two since I drove mine off the lot: A blue one passed me on I-70 Eastbound this morning, then again on 29 South, and the second was a Black one parked in the McDonald's off of Broken Land Parkway. Have we all determined the official Element wave yet? Perhaps with it's surfer dude marketing push, a "hang loose" hand sign would be more appropriate.

E :shock:

CONGRADS. Working for Honda I learn the in's an out's of Honda. To dat the CRV an Element are the 2 best Hondas out there. I've been at Honda of Annapolis for 3 years and this was the first Honda i bought. Remember if you live close to Annapolis come you down to my dealership I'll be more t5han willing to rack it so you can check out the underneath. If your Element is new do not don't get the oil changed too soon!!!!

brendan,
Thanks for the offer! I'm not far from VA. How do I go about it?

The wife an I went to NYC to see a show and do some x-mas shopping. We toof our E. While in time square I only saw 2 Elements. Where I'm from I see at least 2-3 a day (not counting work). I guess I thought I'd see more being how practical they are.

This area is the E! capitol of the East! I live around B-more but commute to Gaithersburg daily (gas money...) and there are soooo many E!'s on the road! I like the idea of the hang 10 thing as a greeting, i do that when i see other E!'s now anyhow, so that would just rock.

I've been pulled over 4 times by police officers who just wanted the tour.
Don't ever visit a Wal-Mart on a Saturday either....everytime i hit up the W on a Sat. i end up giving tours of my E!
Once, a random guy asked if he could test drive my E!

GO GET YOUR OWN!!!!

We just moved to Beltsville from NH where we had tons of fun with our GGM EX in the snow and mountains. If you see us around we have J-HAWKS new hampshire license plates. Honk!! We love our E.

We got our orange EX in January, and love it! I just learned of this website today thanks to someone replying to a post I put on Craig's List.

I am sorry I missed the Gettysburg rally. Thinking we need a local Element rally.

I live in Fairlington, but work right up the street from you in Rosslyn!

How about a fall drive down the blue ridge parkway when the leaves are turning. maybe a nice picnic?

There's a great Friday night and Sunday morning buffet at the Peaks of Otter, one of the nicest spots on the parkway. Though when the peeps are leaf peaking it can get pretty hectic. There are some nice parks down this way where we could grill too. MMMMMM grill!

Of course ther is also the winery.
mmmm wine

Got my Green EX 2 weeks ago, I'm around Fairfax.

2004 Black EX with SRS reporting for duty! My girlfriend and I are looking forward to logging some miles this weekend with a trip down to Richmond, VA to visit some friends :) Happy motoring!

No VD for MY Element!! At least I'm pretty sure... I parked her next to a H2 while I went into Wal-Mart, and now I can't be certain. I'd better get her checked at the Honda clinic!

Oh wait, my bad...

Centerville, VA here.

I commute to Arlington and D.C. everyday however. Should be picking up my Element tommorrow.

Ellicott City, MD here. I commute to Montgomery County for work, and on weekends I'm everywhere in between Manassas and Baltimore

I'm from far Southwest VA just got the 05 element last week and getting hand controls on Monday oct 3rd.installed.
this is my first Honda and worked out perfect for me.being a wheelchair user I can load my wheelchair behind the drivers seatall by myself.

it was getting hard to load my wheelchair in my chevy 1500 4x4 .age and joint pain catching up with me but, the chevy gave me 14 years of good service.

Awesome, congratulations on your recent E purchase.

I seriously though would like to get a Meet Started...I just wish more people were interested :(

I would be up for something, maybe at one of the National Parks in the area?

Richmond VA here as well. Have a 2005 NBP 4WDEX...had a 2005 SOP until a couple of weeks ago...my Dad wanted one, and I wanted to change colors as sort of an impulsive thing...so he made me a deal I couldn't refuse, and paid me for mine what I was quoted for on the Black one...pretty sweet....now we're both happy, and all is well :-D

Dave.

I'm Baltimore and I commute to Ashburn, VA almost every weekend. Mine is a silver EX just bought 1 week ago. Last weekend when I was in VA, I saw a blue one. Don't know whether it's anybody from this board. :)

I'm in NE DC, my E will be 2 weeks old on Sat., I was going to my school's homecoming in Petersburg, Va.,but looks like the rain will keep me here. In my mom's neighborhood (NW)there's a SOP on her street and I always see E's in NW DC.

Havre de Grace, Maryland here, bought mine the 1st week of Aug this year and just love it.

Was just curious if anyone E owners on here were in the Centreville/Manassas area late this afternoon? I was at a stoplight off of 28 next to a blue E (DX I believe).

Just wanted to say thanks for the acknowledgement ;)

I'm in Catlett, Va (south of Warrenton) have a lovely (hour and a half :twisted: ) commute to Herndon, Va. I've got the magnesium. I usually see 2 or 3 Elements on the way to work (Green and Black - usually on 606 near Dulles Airport)

Hello E owners I'm new to the club. I just purchased an 06' E ABM EX-P last Weds. Night. it's been about 48hrs and I've already put close to 250miles on it. I love driving the E around. I'm normally around the DC area so I'll see you guys on the road. :cool:

Hey all, I was wondering...... Has anyone (group) tried to organize an actual club? I also have a MINI Cooper S and belong to DC Metro MINIS and was just curious. Also, I think a meet would be nice. I am originally from FL and have seen the popularity for E's grow. My friend owns an '03 Orange and being in that one got me hooked to buy my '04. I am seeing E's everywhere now. I have actually seen more E's than MINI's on 270 near Rockville.

I too own both a MINI and an Element. Maybe we should start our own club.....the MINILEMENTS (rhymes with vanilla mints)

Or perhaps Elementini.... It is a new Martini drink.

Va. Beach, too! Drop me a line sometime :)

Hey everyone, MD-er here! Live in Laurel, work in Bethesda, see quite a few E's around. Tried honking at one once, just got a weird look, I guess they'll sell E's to anyone, huh? (Course, some strange white chick honking at you and grinning for no apparent reason would probably warrant an odd look, too.)

So, who's going to the St. Louis meet? I can see a caravan of E's rolling west in my head (along with all the purple dinosaurs that wander around in there). Let's carpool or roadtrip together, people!

~Jennifer

P.S. Don't put me in front of the line, my nickname's BearBait for a reason...turns out 'bear' is a term truckers use for cops. And whadaya know, it's reckless driving if you hit more than 20 over (and get caught) in VA. HeHe. :roll:

My wife and I will be heading to the big E'vent this summer. That makes it a caravan of two! Is there anyone in DC VA or MD daring enough to be the third?

Jennifer,

Welcome to the board. I work in Silver Spring, if I see you around i'll be sure to honk and wave. I always do, even though 99.9% of the others never wave back. :( I'll have the black E going 20+ the sp limit. I heart md!

I just got my Element and would love to go to the meet and be a part of the caravan (hopefully!). I'm coming from Ocean City, MD so I may be last in line heading west!

I'd love to Caravan with a bunch of you fellow E owners from MD and VA...but the wife, kids, and I are actually going out to St. Louis a week and a half before the Event as we have family in St. Louis (wife's parents and brothers/sisters)....needless to say, we won't spend any money on hotels for the Event...that was the main reason I'm making it to this one....savin' a bunch of moolah:D I'll see you all out there in the Lou....but if you all have a plan to go back from St. Louis, then I'm definitely down for caravaning back to the East Coast...there are lots of different routes you can take besides 64 and 70, very pretty country to see between St. Louis and here....

Dave.

I'there are lots of different routes you can take besides 64 and 70, very pretty country to see between St. Louis and here....

I'm not worried 'bout the route... i can get there from here.

I can see it now...All of those beautifully polished Elements rolling down the highway, making heads turn and jaws drop...

Is anyone interested in meeting locally before the Big E-vent? Maybe sometime in the spring.

I want to go also. For me it a straight shot on I64 from end to end.

A local get-together's a great idea! No sense in only having one chance to celebrate our divine E-ness! Spring's good, we could pick a local event and meet or how about a road trip w/camping, hiking, rafting, etc.? I've been wanting to break my baby in!

~Jennifer

You could always come down my way to Ocean City for a meeting! Maybe the city would let us ride on the boardwalk in a parade like they do for the bikers and cruisers! haha..

Well whoever plans something, give me as much notice as possible. My weekends seem to get booked really quick.

I really like the Ocean City idea. If we were to plan a spring meet for MD, DC & VA owners, which month would we like to shoot for?

eh... Ocean City rocks.... but not for a meet IMO. How about a trip in may-june to Harpers Ferry? river tubing, scenic drive etc?

eh... Ocean City rocks.... but not for a meet IMO. How about a trip in may-june to Harpers Ferry? river tubing, scenic drive etc?


I agree, Ocean City's awesome but not if you can't swim...tried that last time in May and let's just say I'm glad I'm not a guy, would've taken a month to coax the boys back out.

Harpers Ferry's great, there's tons of activities available. Or maybe Deep Creek Lake, we could plan a day hike on the AT (for those non-hikers out there, that's the Appalachian Trail) and there's boating available there, too.

FYI, the river rafting season starts in April most places. If this is something we're all interested in, can we get a virtual show of hands re: what level rafter you'd consider yoursefl? I've done Class 4 white water rafting w/inflatables, but have no kayaking experience.

~Jennifer

I've never been to Ocean City before, but it's starting to sound like the perfect place for a local meet.

Ok Jennifer and I will head west, you head east. hehehe

Yeah, the more I think about it, Ocean City's probably not the best choice. There's limited opportunities to display our E's - can anyone imagine finding parking near the boardwalk for all of us??? And Boardwalk Fries & Dippin' Dots are the bomb, but I want to take my E out of city-life for a change! :cool:

Just my two cents!

I'm in Williamsport... don't have my E yet but should by the end of the month!

i am here in woodbridge and i work in arlington and i know a few people that would be down with joining a group. let me know i would totally be interested.

Okay, NOW I have my E! Got it Thursday night, and have installed its first accessory - a cargo tray liner. The milk was sliding around in the back.

I just happened upon this thread; I live out in Leesburg, Va. I've seen a few elements around town; I even saw a silver one today with a chrome EOC sticker!! I didn't read the entire contents of this thread; but has anyone floated the idea of a weekend Element cruise? there's alot of nice drives out in in loudoun county and beyond. I'm a big fan of skyline drive; mostly for the views and hiking. It's good to meet everyone!!! :D

Hey fellers. I am in North Bethesda, ala Rockville! I see a couple Es from time to time; mostly old grannies going to and fro the dry cleaners!

Anyway, the White Flint mall in Rockville would be an awesome place to have a meet. Dave & Busters is a great place to shoot pool, play games, drink a couple beers, eat, etc... the upper deck of the parking lot is ALWAYS empty and could accomodate a lot of Es!

I was just there a few days ago. If you see a blue E with "Audit the IRS" on the back window, it's me! I am in West Bethesda and always driving around that area.D&B is a cool place.

I go to White Flint alot also, but I park on the second level which is usually empty. i would be interested in a meet there.

I'm down with a rockville meet D&B its a good time i moved to frederick last yr from rockville ,i miss it alot ! always something to do down there.

I agree that D&B would be a great place for a meet. Definitely could handle all the E's

I'm in Suffolk, VA and new to the owners club. I inherited a 03 EBPEXAWDAUTO from my wife (she fell for a 06 ragtop mustang but that's another story). I've got 50k on my Element and have had a few problems (cracked windshields) but still love it. My teen daughter keeps trying to claim it, I might talk myself into an 07 or 08 if she keeps it up!

I'm in Dumfries with an 06 Silver EX-P which has been at the auto body shop for the past month from some idot who dosn't know how to drive plowing into my drivers front fender... and doing almost $5k worth of damage to a two and a half month old car...

oh and when we went to pick it up yesterday the auto body did a crap job so we are making them take a few more days to make it right...

Jenn

i feel ya on that i just had my transmission replaced under warrenty 6 weeks ago , and it gave out on me yesterday . i made an appointment for the towtruck drive today and told him to bill the dealership . i'm not paying for it !
it took them 11 days to fix it last time and 6 of those days was just for a LAZY insurence inspector to look it over and another 4 days to order the parts ...WTF

Hang in there. My wife was broadsided in our E, the passenger rear wheel was bent up underneath. It was horrible and being AWD I figured it would never be right again. We insisted on the dealer doing the work (Virginia is a right-to-choose state, you pick the repair shop not the insurance company). Our E is a year from the accident and still runs fine. The service manager at First Team Honda was / is kind of a jerk but the guys that work there really did a great job. I hope all goes well for you.

Thanks for the welcome. I visited your website and love your mods, especially the grill guard. Can you elaborate a little, I think yours is quite different from the others I've seen here. Am I correct that the gutter guard is taller than the hole and flexed out from the factory guard underneath? It looks awesome, max points for originality!

L.O. Ment,
Welcome aboard.

I bought my E at First Team. I have had no dealings with service there except for the first and only, so far, oil change. It was free. I traded the 'tires for life' for 6 free oil changes. The hook for tires for life is that you have to get all of the service there.

I'm down with a rockville meet D&B its a good time i moved to frederick last yr from rockville ,i miss it alot ! always something to do down there.

When I tried it, it puckered, so I used zip ties threaded from the back side of the gutter guard, then fed back through, wrapped around the vertical supports and forward again. Once tightened, I cut them off and poked the remainder back through so you couldn't see it. I also used door trim/ding guard stuff on the sides to give it a little cleaner look. I'm very pleased with the results. :)

Yes, the gutter guard is, in fact, taller and wider than the opening. I simply trimmed it a little at a time with tin snips 'til it fit correctly. The bend is already there when you buy it, which is fine by me.

By the way, L.O.Mint, are you in Suffolk, VA? I just assumed...

Hello to all, my name is Jason. I have an 06 Sunburst Orange EX-P. just purchased it last week from Norris Honda in Dundalk, Maryland. A really nice dealership that just opened this month. Looking forward to chatting and meeting some of the other Element owners in the area.

Welcome aboard, Jay!

Welcome to the EOC!!

By the way, L.O.Mint, are you in Suffolk, VA? I just assumed...

Yes, and sorry for the long absence. Projects due at work and all. The Navy kept me in Virginia Beach forever, now I'm working on the Peninsula, and living near Suffolk in Driver. We bought a small house and a few acres of land out here in 2004, it snowed almost a foot that year right after Christmas. We wouldn't have been able to get in our out of our house if it weren't for the Element. It ran through the snow and ice like it was nothing. My driveway is 600 feet long and circles our house, I drove laps in the E to make a path for our car! The E is a perfect fit for rural living. Anyway, I trust you are keeping Virginia Beach in good shape?

L.O. Ment,
Welcome aboard.

I bought my E at First Team. I have had no dealings with service there except for the first and only, so far, oil change. It was free. I traded the 'tires for life' for 6 free oil changes. The hook for tires for life is that you have to get all of the service there.

Smart move on the oil change swap. I just ignored the tire offer since it is pretty much a scam. Speaking of tires, I just bought new ones at WallyWorld for my Element. We bought the Uniroyal TigerPaws ($60 each). They handle great and almost half the price of the original Goodyears.

Please, please! No need to apologize, and thanks for the response.

I'm glad to hear you're in Hampton Roads. (Welcome!) I see more and more Es on the road, but apparently few, if any, are EOC members.

I like the "drove laps" section. I was truly hoping for some real snow this year... *sigh*. Maybe next year.

As far as keeping Va. Beach in "good shape", I assume you're referring to the the rescue squad. Yes, I believe so, and love doing it more than virtually anything else. Concert season is here at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, and we supply the venue with medical staff for each and every function there. It's a great way to help out, and also see some good shows at no charge. :rolleyes: Looking forward to it!

Hey Lifeizgood,

Thanks for putting up your photos of Opie with his sportwings on, I just bought a set for Vicki and I needed to see their placement.:)

Lifizgood--Love the trailer hitch. Didn't notice it in Richmond. Did you install or have U-haul do it? Was it about $130? Did U-haul have to order or did they have it in stock?

Hey Lifeizgood,

Thanks for putting up your photos of Opie with his sportwings on, I just bought a set for Vicki and I needed to see their placement.:)

You're most welcome. Please note that I screwed up when I placed them, and I didn't do it according to the directions (oops). I measured from the bottom of the door instead of the crease, and had to cut the back pieces to fit. Be your own judge, but I've been pleased so far. I'm dingless either way. Can't speak for those who've done the install correctly.

My hitch link is here: http://www.elementownersclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23629&highlight=u-haul+hitch

I didn't have it during the meet in Richmond.

Stock?: They had one, but it was spoken for, so they got another for me the next morning. Got a 3:00 appointment and was out by 4.

BEWARE... one of only 2 (in Va. Beach) U-Haul hitch installers would guarantee a Valley hitch... "Depends on what they send me," said the other. BZZZZZZZZ! Wrong answer!

The thread above will tell the rest.

Great to hear from you!

i am here in woodbridge and i work in arlington and i know a few people that would be down with joining a group. let me know i would totally be interested.

Hey There. I am located in Woodbridge too.......:cool:

I am in Chesapeake, Virginia. I have a 2004 2WD EX Auto 4-speed Element GG.
The best vehicle I have ever owned. I use it for taking my wife & kids :) , canoe, mountain bikes, skateboards, or buds to various cool destinations.

I am looking in to building custom upgrades in the near future. :D
The first one is a custom "dead pedal". The second one will probably be home made nerf bars!

Anybody smart enough to buy an Element has got to be a good person!

1st post congrats:) Welcome aboard!!

1st post congrats:) Welcome aboard!!

Ditto, tooljedi! I'll be lookin' for ya' on the road. :)

Thanks for the Hello!

I don't know about you guys, but it seems the Elements presence in the area is growing like rabbits in Australia. I Commute from Chesapeake to Newport News everyday, and I am always seeing more and more.

My 2004 was creamed on 664 last fall, and I am very glad to say that my Element is a battle wagon. It took the hit and was able to drive off. I can’t say that much for the Pontiac mini van that hit me. The folks at the Honda dealership in Churchland did a great job fixing it back up. There are no signs that it had ever been scratched, let alone T-boned. I plan to keep this at least long enough for my 4 year old to dive it when he comes of age.

Hi everyone. Just want to say I LOVE my Kiwi Green 2006 Element. I've dubbed it "Slimer". Actually, I wanted to dub it Soylient Green, but I don't know how many people would get the joke.

I saw on part of this thread that you all were trying to get a meet up together. I didn't read the entire thread, but wondered if anyone wants to get one together in the Rockville, MD area. Actually, this time of year, it may even be cool to do a meet up at a local park and have an Element Tailgating party!! Isn't that what having an E-machine is all about!!??!!

Let me know who's interested. This is my first time to post, if I should start a new thread with this, let me know.

whats up Katton.

I never introduced myself in this thread. Sorry guys/girls!

Just picked up an 03 4WDEX MT is Silver.

I live in Rockville and work in Germantown. Get to do the opposite traffic route to and from work everyday.

I'd be down for a meet :)

Welcome aboard Katton:)

I'm in DC, but I go to Rockville often (always at the Penn Camera, or Comp USA), hope to see you on the road.

I live in Silver Spring, MD and I purchased a silver ex, 4wd, 3 weeks ago.

Hey Lifeizgood,

I have pics of the sportwings in the DIY thread, did them over the recent holiday weekend.

Let's see if we can do some kind of get-to-gether. I am really interested in what people have done to their E's. I like to see someone here with a set of balls gather us up so we can meet ? Who in the DC area has a set of GAHOONAs large enough to handle this task ?:?

Why don't you bring 'em down to the beach? Camping to DIE for, etc.

????????????????????????????

Yep, I'm in the orange Element with a ton of mountain biking-related stickers on the back and sides... I'm mostly in Rockville, Silver Spring, Rehoboth Beach, Ocean City (MD), and anywhere there's downhill mountain bike racing i.e. Whitetail (PA) and Snowshoe (WV.)

Perhaps I go by too fast and no one realizes it's an Element?!

I will actually be down in Virginia Beach for a week on July 4th. I wanted to bring my girlfriend but my wife didn't like that idea.

Cool, we should try to get some of these local peeps to meet up around here some time. I'm just not sure where to have it....hmm maybe one of the parks?

Actually, we should do some type of "Tail Gating" that's what the E is built for!

I was thinking maybe meet at Great Falls, but that can be a real pain to get into on the weekends. I think it would be more fun to meet at a park than just in a parking lot ... There are so many to choose from in the DC area, it's quite daunting. What would everyone think about Rock Creek Park? If not, I found a really cool park by accident. It's a bit further away and has a cool name: Devil's Backbone County Park http://www.washco-md.net/public_works/parks/devils.htm
It's not a very large park, but it's very pretty. (It's near Boonsboro)

Anyone else have other suggestions?

How about Wheaton Plaza ? Do you know if a car groups gather there ??? :twisted:

I asked my fiance about Wheaton Plaza (he's from wheaton) and said that's a pretty rough area (It's gone downhill)

wheaton plazas not bad if ya dont count the mall shootings or the parking lot stabbings,and/or mugging.lol i think the park near boonsboro would be a great Idea !

I asked my fiance about Wheaton Plaza (he's from wheaton) and said that's a pretty rough area (It's gone downhill)

It went down hill a while back, but then some rebuilding efforts took place. It ain't as bad as it used to be.

BTW they changed the name...can't remember what the hell they call it now though....Westfield shopping town maybe?

Wheaton white trash rule!

I'm not the biggest Doug Duncan fan, but if his successor completes the Wheaton re-build the way they did Silver Spring, it would be a great place.

That sounds good.

When I hear the name Boonsboro, it reminds me of a young boy playing a banjo on a bridge and Ned Beatty running up a hill squeeling like a pig. I'm sorry. I just suffer from POST-DELIVERENCE SYNDROME.

I'm out right around Gaithersburg, MD...

This area is the E! capitol of the East! I live around B-more but commute to Gaithersburg daily (gas money...) and there are soooo many E!'s on the road! I like the idea of the hang 10 thing as a greeting, i do that when i see other E!'s now anyhow, so that would just rock.

I live in Germantown, MD and work in Rockville and I see quite a few E's on the road in my daily commute. Interstingly enough, I have also been seeing quite a few FJ Cruisers popping up in my neck of the woods as well. :-) Funny thing is that I always pass the same FJ twice a week at the same gas station, knowing I do the same commute but only fill up once a week:D

I live in Fredericksburg VA. I see them all over the place and four people have bought one after showing them mine. People always have ask because like me, they are thinking "why would someone buy that ugly box" It has grown on me now though.

Shoot, it was probably owned by one of the folks that started this thread:-D

Welcome aboard, Mike. If you see this one, usually on Rosemont, it's mine... :D

I work in Alexandria, Va, and live in College Park, MD. There's Elements all over the place. I now see at least 3 every ride to-and-fro. Silver with blue, Black with grey, Silver with grey, Kiwi with grey, Fiesta/Orange with grey. Mine - black with grey with the stereo cranking house music.

I live and work in Montgomery County and I see Elements all over the place as well.

There's 3 in my little office complex.

Hi All!!! I got my E about 2 months ago (just in time to have the free XM for three months with the Christmas Station on 24-7). I am over near College Park/Laurel Maryland- I think I'm the only one in my neighborhood with an E, but the hospital I work at has the exact same E in the parking lot about 75% of the time.

I would love to go to a meet too when the next one come up! I think I've become just a little obsessed with my car.

Too bad you missed the recent meet. We had lunch in FR and then drove down the skyline drive. Plenty O pictures posted.

I'm new to this site - I'm looking to buy an E in the late spring, loved the original '03 but held off for a vriety of reasons. I really like the the '07 with its upgraded safety features and new interior look, I test drove one the other day and love the feel of it! I'm counting the ones I see going to and from work in DC from Funfax and see about six to ten a day. It really is a great wagon compared to the other small SUVs.

Hey Diana, welcome to the EOC.:)

First, you do not have a green Element. No one has a green Element. You may own a Galapagos Green or a Kiwi Metallic. Which one are you?

Second, I think the mid-Atlantic chapter is planning Ocean City in July ???

Something in May sounds great since I missed the Spring Fling due to a tire blowout. I am located in the trailer park of Northern Virginia (Woodbridge) not far at all from you. Maybe if we can centralize something so we can get the folks from Virginia Beach to come up that might work out.

Looks like you just missed a real nice meet in NC last weekend. There are events going on quite often but having someone come up with a meet idea is also great.

Since you are in Bedford...maybe a gathering at Natural Bridge, VA ???

You might even get some of us from a tad further south up that way... :wink:

I've never been to Natural Bridge (http://www.naturalbridgeva.com/) so I checked out their website. Looks cool! Only 4 hours from Va. Beach.

And we already know Gary (DCBox) is going to show up too....
