MikeB, what can I say but wow! Do you think the E will hold up in an earthquake since we're out here in California, the land of multiple faultlines? Just curious.

We've had the E out here for about 2 years now and its been perfect through the Earthquakes... It has the ability to quickly swerve around the collapsing buildings, stop in time not to fall into the opening cravas and to quickly out run the falling trees. :grin:

That is some kind of trailer. I wish i was would have been there with my Waveblaster II. I have been through 16 inches of snow up here in the Adirondacks. The E is awesome in the snow!!!!

I probably won't be seeing much snow here in Florida, but the element does great on the beaches and feels very secure in the rain. I was concerned about how well it would pull my trailer but it does even better than the pathfinder it replaced. Power/pull feels about the same due to the real time AWD, but the brakes are noticabley better on the element.

The tongue on the trailer is a bit long, it is a boat trailer that was converted to a windsurf trailer (my 5 year old daughter painted it). I thought about choping down the tongue, but it still fits nicely in my garage, so no need.

Lovin' my E. The uhaul hitch went on last week, my cyber white fog lights are going in this week and the side steps are in the mail.

Yeah! Alright go E! My Accords and I survived the Northridge and Whittier quakes down in SoCal and the Bay Area World Series as well. I'm sure the E will do just fine. :grin:

Hey MikeB, I've noticed your E and trailer at Huguenot (aka, Mullet Head Beach, aka, Yahoo point) as I've crossed the sound bridge heading for Big Talbot Island. Love looking for the idiots that drive their big ass trucks and SUV's too far out at low tide trying to get the sandbars and get them stuck in what is actually the sea floor. And then have to just stand by as the tide swallows them. Darwinism at it's finest.

Huguenot can attract a pretty ugly crowd on the weekends during the summer. I actually pulled a pickup out of the incoming tide recently. The owner had had one to many and didn't notice the tide coming in.
