Biloxi MS could be close enough right

You guys might be the only ones. I'm checking in from the other side - TX.

Boywonder here from Lafayette

Joey T right here from New Orleans, (Kenner) 2 be precise :evil: any 1 around this area dat would wanna meet up or sumthin email me at JMTonline@cox.net

My element still got struck in New Orleans. I miss my E.
I am in Los Angeles now, last week I saw painted E. It looks nice.

I'm in New Orleans for over two months working a security gig with the Army Corp of Engineers. I am living at Prytania & Jackson in the city, and working on Manhattan Blvd in Harvey.

I've seen tons of E's down here, but no one else with membership window stickers. I've put cards on E doors when I find them parked.

New to the boards and proud new owners of our "E". We had reservations at first...but after driving this vehicle for two weeks...We are hooked!

Old Jefferson here, but the Marine Corps has me in Yuma AZ. 2006 AWD EXP Kiwi green.

Now in Patuxent River MD.

Chiming in from Lafayette. I've only seen a few other Elements around town. I'll get pics of my new one on soon - but I'm the solid blue one.

None of the E owners in Lafayette wave back - guess we need to work on that.

Hi, Ron. Where'd you evacuate too? Back home with minimal damage I hope.

Just joined the club, and just moved back to New Orleans (actually Jefferson) - drove down from Philadelphia with all my belongings packed into my new (to me):) 2003 EX 5 spd. MT- bought it with 37,000 miles and so far I love it. My only complaint is that it didn't come with the sunroof! Anybody have advice about hiking & camping around Kistachie Natl. Forest? Planning my first expidition in a couple weeks...

hey juls! haha sorry, totally forgot about this thread! I have an 05 Black E with grey panels. Youll know its me by my nice Lucy bobble-head doll on the dash. hope to see you around! Where in Lafayette do you live?

I'm on the southside - you'll catch me mostly around Pinhook/Verot. How about you?

Same here. I live right off of Verot by Stuller. I work in the mall so Im always on that side too. Hope to see you around!

Jeff

I just transferred to ULL here in Lafayette, SMM with the racoon (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v31/theymightberudy/sm_img_0002.jpg) paint, intake, fogs, bug gaurd, sidesteps....

or is this a gaggle??? I just picked up my Element. Tried 18 cars before test driving this one. First step on the the gas, I knew this was "the one". I hope it gives me a great run like my last car....11 years! Can't wait to throw a couple of bikes in the back, a cooler and go riding....hmmmm....maybe I will wait till it cools off!!

heat index of 105+?? yea, my NBP is hard to handle. SOOOOOO hott. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for you! Welcome!

I was in Shreveport June 05 till this past March, didn't have my E then. Miss LA though.

tmbrudy, you live in Legacy dont you?! Im a Visual Arts major and am at Fletcher all the time and your E has been throwing me for a loop! The paint job makes me look twice EVERY time, nice. If ever youre out late at night, look across the street into Fletchers parking lot. Im usually the only one in the lot, and definitely the only E. See ya round!

Yeah thats me! I'm a Industrial design major so I too spend my fair share of time in Fletcher, nice long walk from my apt, hehe.

Hmmm...VA graduate here from ULL...it was USL at the time though. I know the building, faculty, etc... Good little set-up they have. I love the building (bauhaus style)...anyway, I wish you luck. I went on to get my MFA from UF (Florida) and show here in New Orleans locally.



Picture of my E, here in New Orleans...

Bonjour all!

Anyone in this thread still around?! I live in Jeanerette, about 25 miles south of Lafayette! I will hopefully be driving my E home this week unless things go wrong.

I also love to drive, so if anyone can get a group going, I am not opposed to drive to Texas, Arkansas or Mississippi!!!

Baton Rouge here

Hey!

Are there a lot of E's in BR area? We went to the Renaissance Festival in Hammond yesterday and there was a ton of people and withing 10 feet there were 2 other E's parked by me!

Do you have E friends in your area? I am an organizer by (partial) profession (I don't get paid)and can get something organized if there are people who are interested!!! :-D

Let me start first.

Congrats on the E purchase!!! Welcome to the club OFFICIALLY, since you have been hangin' out here for a bit.

Rock the E!!

My wife has a '06 2WD Midnight Blue EX-P that she drives around with our two kids. I have a '03 AWD SOP EX. I'm the one with the clerical collar. We live on a street with a two Xb household, a two BMW 5 series household, and a two Hummer household. We used to be a two Jeep household. I love the E. My wife likes it alot but is on the fence. She keeps eyeing the Jeep Commander (I can't afford the gas).

Hawk welcome to the club, ya better fill out your profile or IRV will be after ya....:D

S2K,welcome to the club.

Harahan here!

Heather, you're from BR? ha, I've spent quite a bit of time there! I'm from just north of you, in Brookhaven, MS. It's on I-55 north of you.

I'm from just north of you, in Brookhaven, MS. It's on I-55 north of you. When I still lived in B.R. we used to go mountain biking just west of Brookhaven about once a month for years. There's some great trails at the Clear Springs Rec Area in the Homochitto NF. It's off Hwy 84 near Meadville.

Yeah! I know exactly where you're talking about. One of my good friends mountain bikes there quite a bit. I've been there several times, myself.

It's cool to know I'm not the only one who knows about B-town, ha!

Well, there's another reason I know where Brookhaven is. I had an issue w/the local barney and andy in my college days roadtripping to jackson for football games. There really need to be signs that indicate DRY counties. Especially for us S.Louisiana folks :D

just joined from kenner.

Nice to know there are a couple more people in the general vacinity. Anyone interested in getting a meet together for a few months from new? Maybe NO or BR? Maybe April or something (you know- before it's too damn hot!). Let me know if anyone is interested - in LA or a nearby state and we can get something planned!

id be up for something in BR anytime..

in nola all depends on when i have time to go down there casue of course id have to go say hi to the parents if i was in town

I will look at my calendar and see when would be a good time for my family and see if it works for you as well! Do you know any other E drivers? Where is everyone?! lol

hell I just got mine...I see a bunch driving around and all.

I plan to do like I did for s2ki.com and print out a bunch of crappy buisness card type things on some 8x11 piece of paper with the site url my name on it and my phone number and give them to other drivers i seen on the street.

It worked with the motorcycle club and the s2ki club im in so who knows.

Sounds good. I have only seen them on the highway. And only one so far was under 50! I'll see what I can do on my end! I really think La would be able to get a group together. Ever heard of meetup.com? I organize a playgroup from it and if we could get a few people I an use it to get us going. (it's free for me since I pay for the 1st group)

And only one so far was under 50!
And...? :D

Heheh, I wondered if anyone would respond to that! lol Not that it is an issue, but I am not sure how to approach an older crowd! "hey, you wanna join my club?!" LMAO I think the older ones in my area are the "not sure how I got this car" people. I wished there were more online - LOOKING for an E group!! Do you even know how cool our parties and get together's would be?! :lol: YEAH!! I always love an good excuse for a crawfish boil! :D

How's it going cb? You staying warm?

I've been lurking this board for about a month doing research on the Element.
I spent two weeks haggling with Team Honda in Baton Rouge. I almost got scammed by some English person from ebay. Bought my 2006 Tangerine AWD ex-p the 28th of March 2007. Paid $22,300 out the door. After 600 miles I'm still smitten by the Element! Tammy and I have two Pontiac Azteks (both 2001's). Aztek's started the modern era crossover movement with tons of room and versatility, but Honda got it right! I thought I'd miss the V6, but I have to look at the tachometer to know I'm not driving a V6. There's about 500 rpm difference at highway speeds. The Element turns tighter(hard to do!) than the Aztek and it sure is just as smooth riding!!
Our two Rottweilers and Chow love Pumkin' and when I took my mountain bike for a tune up I was loaded in under a minute and that included putting the seats up!
Thanks for having this board!

Don't you just love those posts about rough weather? I'm already "feeling" my higher up E come June 1st- and we all know what starts then..

no one's posted in few months, but...
N.O. midcity to be specific

but i'll post them i m ore trafficed areas

Yo!

Currently living in Slidell

Just as an "oh by the way", I've relocated to the Suburban VA area. Good luck to all those in Southern LA.

...in the Irish Channel. Anyone one else still on here in this area?

This is NO Sac King from Hammond, LA. I just bought my E last Friday and can't stop driving it. Great vehicle! :D

"CONGRATULATIONS" on a great choice in vehicles!!! I hope that you enjoy yours as much as I have over the last few years. Everyone gets very attached to their E's for an assortment of reasons that fits each owner. I am in SoCal, but I'm from Lacombe, LA., St. Tammany Parish.

I wondered if you wuz from down da bayou when I saw the Choctaw reference. :grin: Every few years when I'm home we go to Mandeville and bike the Tammany Trace up to Abita have lunch & some brews at the brewpub then ride it back thru Fountainbleu & over to Lacombe.

Tkobrian,

Yeah, I'm a Bayou-Lacombe Choctaw, you'd have to be from down there to even know about us, and my other relatives are Jena Choctaws. Unfortunately for us, as you already know, the Mississippi Band is the only one that has Casinos! :grin:

That Pearl River Resort is beautiful, and I have made several DEPOSITS there! :grin: That sounds like a perfect plan to bike along the Tammany Trace and back, and I especially love the part about the lunch and the brews in Abita. But I'd just as soon wait on yaw'll to get back to Lacombe, and I'll have a mess of 'craw-dads,' and a few Hurricanes waitin' for you! :lol:

I can say that living in California is a totally different experience, especially when you have to tell people everyday that you don't speak Spanish! Doesn't anybody out here speak Choctaw?!! :razz:

Man if you knew how much I could go for some berled mudbugs about now! It's lent and it's hard as hell for a catholic school boy to find descent seafood in the Texas Hillcountry on Friday. :lol: Usually it's "yeah we got fried catfish". Catfish? Man, that's bubba food...I'm craving an oyster poboy, some gumbo or somethin' and usually have to settle for fish taco's :twisted:

Can't say I've been to the Pearl River Resort. That one survive Katrina? My mom & a friend go up to the big one in Marksville for the shows fairly regularly. Never been much for the casino's. I was more of a huntin' camp booray & 5 card stud kid. Can't get into the video poker stuff, don't really like blackjack & craps confuse me. :rolleyes:

hey i am in Shreveport, LA. if there are any meets coming up can some one send me the info. i love rollin in my beast.

I have had my 06 Element EX-P since March 2006 but just found this site today. I am trying to sell mine but I don't want to take too big of a loss because I added alot of accessories when I purchased it. Mine was purchased to be a business vehicle but I do love it. I am just much more of a car person and would love to get a Civic instead. I am in Hammond.

'06 Element owner here.. red with anti-war slogans. I live in Nawlins and Slidell

Hey all, just checking in on this Louisiana thread. I am a new E owner in Hammond. Crazy thing that happened on Saturday July 14th. I put my EOC sticker on my '08 SC Sat morning and headed to the gym, on the way back to the house a GG EX pulls onto the road I was on. As I close the distance, I realize that the Element in front of me has a EOC sticker on the back glass!! (right hand side) I was really surprised to see another sticker that fast... It was on Old Covington road heading toward Range... Looking over the list of posts here, i suspect it was nosacking, but who knows... Guess the EOC is bigger than I thought.

:D That was me, NO Sac King. I love my E. Had it for close to a year now and I have no complaints. I just talked my friend into buying one too and she loves it. I have seen quite a few E's around the Hammond area. We should meet up.

Welcome! If we can get a couple more LA members we could do a small meet.

just turned 30K on the odometer and had to change tires...

finally took those crappy Goodyears off and put on a set of Michelin LTX's...awesome tires!

almost $18K for my box back than and thats the kind of junk Honda had the nerve to put on it...

Did you get the stock size? I do a lot of highway driving. I was wondering if the LTX gave you a smoother ride?

did someone say a meet? i dont rock the eoc sticker, but i think you should know it is me when you see me. i am proud to say i think i may of started a trend in shrevecity. more and more e's are poppinup with rims on em.

Here is my Home Address:)

11001 Lapalco Blvd
Avondale, LA 70094-6201

Did you get the stock size? I do a lot of highway driving. I was wondering if the LTX gave you a smoother ride?

yes...I did go with the stock size

I had to order them from Sam's Club and they will only put on the OE size.

Honestly, I didnt see any use for a bigger size since we dont offroad with it...so ground clearance isnt an issue when riding on the street

These tires give an awesome ride...terrific wet and dry traction as well
