We've seen one other E in town so far - so maybe we are the only ones! Anyone else out there?

Also, I'd like to formally petition that Kentucky be added to the Mid-West list, before someone from Bowling Green or Paducah puts me in the South. *yikes*

Email T-Mac and he will add KY to the Midwest.

Just joined The Club and I am considering buying an Element, I was very interested in a 2003 CRV Auto EX and then the Element came along. Do you have one? If so how do you like it ? I live in the Hyde Park area.

Just purchased our new Honda Element yesterday and so far really love it and so does the wife!

Hello,

Last week just purchased a new black EX. I bought it in Dayton but the dealer traded with a Cin dealer. I have seen another black one and a orange one in the Dayton area. Not too many around.

I was just about to post a complaint about the ommision of KY. I feel like the last kid picked for the dodgeball game. I just moved to KY last fall, and have found this problem often. Look at the Weather Channel! With the exception of tornado warnings, you'll NEVER see a map that clearly shows the Bluegrass state. We're either cut off at the bottom of the MidWest map or cut off the top in the SouthEast map. :cry:

I certainly think KY fits better with the MidWest than the Southeast. Have you emailed T-Mac yet? I am definitely the only E in Danville, but I've heard rumors of Lexington sightings....

No I haven't emailed him yet. Been kinda busy - havent check the regional forum for awhile. I have seen a few E's around Cincy - very few. Lots of lookers though.

The request to have Kentucky added to the midwest has been filed.

Is Kentucky really part of the Midwest? :lol:

You will be seeing a couple of more "El's" around Cincy - I pick-up my SOP on Sat, and there are already another 2 up in Mason

Giddy-up
Orangee

Haven't seen any over here on the West side of Cincinnati! Got mine at Jeff Wyler and they have sold 6 so far. I'll be on the look out!!

Finally saw another E. It was at the Hyde Park Shopping Center!

We need to start getting together as a group about once a month, go somewhere on a Saturday Afternoon for lunch and such - can you imagine the looks with if a group of Elements pull up ! Way cool

I'm game if any other Cincy folks are interested

:lol:

I'm interested, but Saturday is bad for me because of work. Of course I usually get off at 5pm, so something after that would be nice. Will probably sit down with the wife this weekend and decide what color t-shirts we want to order. She has narrowed it down to three colors that she would like!

:P it is now!

perhaps a gathering at the Hofbrauhaus is in order - people poured out of the lobby to peek at our E when we went there last week.

HOFBRAUHAUS sounds great - how about it CincyElement and PSM 0110?
How about Sunday Afternoon June 8th? Say 2:00pm?

This weekend would be bad for me, and I'm sure others already have plans for this Memorial weekend already.

I will post something under the meetings and events to see if we can get a few more "E's"

Shirts sounds like a good Idea - will ask the wife what color she wants, I know I'll end up with @ least two for me

ORANGEE
:mrgreen:

I should be able to make it.

GG Element, got it for a B-Day present to myself back in April. Had to get rid of the green mustang anyway. Seen one other Blue E on the road here in the NorthWest part of Cincy and have a friend who purchased an Orange E who lives on the Westside.

Count me in on the June 8th get-to-gether :)

Have all your Element friends join us - I have called my dealer to let him know to send any Element owner to the Hofbrauhaus on the 8th of June @ 2:00pm

The more the merrier (sp?)

6/8 is bad for me - the Element and my wife will be out of town.

PSM-0110
We will make sure next time you will be there - and thanks again for the tip about the parking lot.
Enjoying my E - have gotten quite a few comment, seems it is a hate/love on this one. I just know I love it - very practical for me with 2 dogs and my mountain bike

I just some e-mails to the local Honda dealers about our meeting to see if they would maybe give us some freebies or discounts as a group. So far, I haven't heard anything back.

Any idea how many of us will be there on that Sunday? Sent e-mails to the local dealers and didn't hear back from any of them. Ran into a couple at the Hyde Park Plaza and gave them this site's address. The wife decided what color shirt she wants, so I guess I'll put that in the mail today!

It is very seldom that dealers give group-buy type discounts - especially in Cincinnati. The H-and-A and other online shops are already very much below retail. Typically, group-buys work best for after market products, such as a self-dimming rear view mirror with compass/temperature and homelink. At least, this is my experience with 2 years of Passat GB activity on ClubB5.com. They also are seldom worth the effort unless the item is valued over $100 or so and discounted at least 15% IMHO.

As far as I can tell, we will have about 5 Element owners there.
I also have not heard back from my dealer if he is planning on coming - but I do know what PSM-0110 said about group buys pretty much holds true.
My wife and I are looking forward to it.
I just returned from a road trip to Maryland over the weekend ( I now have over 1000 miles on my E) - getting just over 23 miles to the gallon!

:P

ORANGEE

bought it and hit the road last week. Cool ride and LOTS of looks and questions. Try your favorite symphony with this sound monster! gimme more Already have seen another one in tiny Paris KY

So ted?
does this mean you will be joining us on June 8th - 2:00pm @ the Hofbrauhaus in Newport?

:lol:
ORANGEE

I just found out that I have to work that Sunday, so I will not be able to attend.

Well folks - looks like we have one more that won't be going - ME
Found out "Dogfest" is the same day - wife says Dogfest or sleep on the couch.........damn!
Anyway, I know we will do this again I really feel horrible since I'm the one that posted for the meet and greet.

But the ones that can go shouls still go and let us know how it is!

SORRY SORRY SORRY
:cry: :cry: :cry:

ORANGEE

Never have heard if there was a get together on June 8?
If so, how did it go?

I was hoping someone would have posted also - I had to bail 3 days before for a commitment to Dogfest the wife made for me ( and the dogs)
hopefully we can all do this again soon.
I will be taking my E on the Boyz annual Whitewater Rafting trip this year (July 25-27th) We are going to try "Rivers" this year - We have used Rivermen, Class VI, Mountain River Tours in the past.

Sorry again I didn't make it - did any CINCINNAT "E" owner go?

ORANGEE
8) 8) 8)

I live in Fairfield, and work at performance honda.
the idea of us meetin so often is cool. http://www.freewebs.com/rblclan/cojacbio2.htm

I'd guess the lack of reponses would indicate that no one went. Even if they did, they might have been lonely. We're busy for the next few weeks.

If I had known this was going on I woulda been there! Anyone get a picture?


SUV-stuffing makes city life fun
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Event promotes young professionals

By Maggie Downs
The Cincinnati Enquirer


Who hasn't wondered how many young professionals could fit into a Honda Element?

Luckily, YPCincy.com, the young professional network with the Greater Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, did the work for us.

It also brought together local college students and more than 25 organizations on Fountain Square for a common goal - to retain young people in the Tristate.


Wednesday's event was designed to help build ties among the area's young professionals and their organizations - while stuffing a few people into a boxy sport utility vehicle.

(FYI: You can cram 21 people in there - including Mayor Charlie Luken.)

"It's a new twist on an old college tradition to demonstrate how passionate we are to advance the vision and energy of young professionals in Cincinnati," said Melinda Canino, workforce solutions consultant at the chamber.

It also was a way to bring people together - quite literally - like Luken, who was stretched across a stack of eight or nine people.

"I swore I wasn't going to do it, because I'm a little bit claustrophobic, but they made a nice space for me," Luken said.

Natalie Wheeler, assistant director of communications for the Cincinnati Art Museum, was on the Honda's dashboard.

"I didn't feel claustrophobic at all," she said. "The window helped."

Wheeler, who attended the event to represent both the museum's Renaissance Society and Legacy, an organization of young leaders, said that the afternoon was educational for others, too.

"It was good to show the whole community that there are organizations out there devoted to the young professional cause." .

Luken said it was beneficial for him as well:

"I don't see enough of that group in my daily work, and I enjoy talking to them and getting some of their perspectives on the city," he said. "They want the city to be more exciting, more fun. And I know that if cities are going to survive long term we need that energy very badly."

I bought my SOP E back in October, I've seen a lot of E's on the road around town. More on the East side than the west but I see at least one almost anytime I'm driving. I live in Mt. Airy and bought mine at Superior Honda. See you on the road!

Who-dey!

Just got the Element three weeks ago. Love it. I am from the Anderson area and I have only seen but two or three. Seen a few in the Hyde Park area. Go Reds!!

Welcome! I know that two of us Element owners work in Hyde Park.
This qrea of town seems to be where I see the most Elements.
Enjoy!!

hey hey, i own a fiji blue element purchased at the end of january...and i love this car!! It would be cool to meet up sometime...it seems that the meeting has been draggin out for some time and noone went to the one back in june...i see maybe one a day around cincy, seen a couple in oxford where i just graduated from last may but gf still goes so i am up there a lot still. p.s. reds and bungles arent very good....hahhaa....but its not those seasons now its ncaa time and how bout them muskies...tooo bad for uk and uc. maybe i will see you around...i have a pretty uniqu license plate...will have a pic soon. :roll:

Look for an SOP named "takbox". That's me and the fam.

Got a Mag Metallic 2 weeks ago. I split my time between Youngstown, OH (business) and Cincinnati (business/wife), specifically Clifton.

My E feels very at home on Ludlow, right by the Esquire and 3 Indian restaurants!

I've seen quite a large number of Cinti E's, especially around Clifton gas light...

I'd be up for a Cinti E outing, if there's enough interest... I'd even help plan it! Anyone else interested?

too bad I did not get a chance to stop by this thread before my trip...but really don't know when we would have had a chance to meet. But anyway, I found this on one of the side streets and wanted to see if anyone here can identify this stray "critter"......

Anyone going to the National Meet next month? I am. :grin:

I have to work the weekend (like every weekend) but I plan on spending Friday in Columbus. Me and my 7 year old son while Momma's at work.

I'm going, and looking forward to a relaxing peaceful weekend. (I have a 2-year-old and a 7-week-old at home!) :shock:

This is a little sad. After starting this thread so many years ago, posting in it to say goodbye. We're selling our beloved E. Nothing personal, we just had our second child and while we're getting by in the Element, a little more space, like a 3rd row, would be welcome. That and we can't do the seat origami when there are child seats latched into them. :-(

This is a terrible used car market, so if you have any friends or family who want a very well kept Element, send me a PM. I'll gut the price for buyers who won't peal off my EOC sticker!

http://www.elementownersclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15721

:sad: Sad, but completely understandable. I have a 2-year-old in a forward-facing seat and a 2-month-old in a rear-facing seat. You lose the utility of the vehicle because it's really a pain in the a$$ to get those child seats out!

We're shopping as well, but not parting with the E - we're replacing my wife's car.

TMac is on a mental sebatical because of the hard work he has done for the Big Event lol
Email T-Mac and he will add KY to the Midwest.

It's been a long month. My wife still is still saddened whenever she sees a green element. Sadder still, no EOC-type exists for our new Nissan Quest. I had to make one myself! Nissan Quest Driver Community (http://questdriver.com)

Just a note to our Cincinnati friends:
This morning before heading out, sometime between 6 and 6:30 AM Chicago time I was watching the Weather Channel. They had a report from Bengals stadium and in the background were two cars getting ready to tail-gate. Sure enough there stood an SOP Element! Thought the color scheme perfect for a Bengals fan. :)
