Any good Ideas for a Monster garage Element for Jesse James?

I think a Submarine Element would be cool!
Like the james bond car...

How about a hot air gondala Element? (I know it would have to be one hell of a baloon.

Don't think Jesse would go for it. He seems to like big american iron. The Element could make for a cool makover though.

How about the psycho circus element complete with a cannon hidden in back. It could be a mobil party on wheels. I bet you could fit about 30 midget clowns in the element and pull up to a friend’s house and just unload clowns out the cannon. :twisted:

>make the element into a snowcat

Already done, sort of, in Episode 15 - they made a Cooper Mini into a "snowmobile".

The premise of the show is fun, but you pretty much know that anything they do is going to fall into a heap of broken welds in a matter of minutes/hours/days, depending on how much they've messed with major bits. I can't believe some of the shortcuts when they're down to the last few hours. They must have one incredible liability insurance policy. :shock:

>double decker e

Now I like that one. Put a spiral staircase in the back and you have it. :lol:

He already did the Hot Air Ballon with the Tracker and the 1/2 pipe with the Jones Soda RV also.

The E would have actually been a better choice than the Mercedes SUV for the handicap car, it has much more headroom for the chair I think.

I fully expect to see an E on the show next season, it has too much potential for an Urban Combat Vehicle (or God knows what else). Convert the rear skylight into a water cannon turret or something. You know the suicide doors have his attention, he loves those, lol. It would make a great SWAT riot vehicle of some sort...and of course stuff 22's under it in true Jesse James style :twisted:

The half-pipe was already made...

The Escalade episode was sweet...

I don't think Jesse gets to choose the projects, it picked by the producers, depending on sponsors. Jesse just gets to choose what it looks like.

I like the idea of the double decker E. Maybe a fire-engine E? or a hot-tubbin E?

The ramp angle was pretty much covered with the RV, the bbq pit was as well with the ultimate tailgate Escalade.

You may have also noticed that they use used cars. The MINI got done cuz MINI (and it is a MINI Cooper...not a Cooper MINI please) gave them the car. Just as they gave the makers of The Italian Job a fleet to destroy making the movie. If Honda wants the 'free' advertising they'll work the deal.

Since Kayakin' Dan and I (and a few others) have taken the handcuff thing to the brink and back, I'm thinkin' something with handcuffs might be in order :twisted:

Not always. The Mini was new. So was the PT cruiser and the Escalade. If they're not new, the're definitely not used too much.

They should make the E into a paintball tank or snowplow...

Man you guys get carried away on the do it yourself site here.

I was thinking for those with empty fog light ports. I would like to rigg a couple of diving sirens in those ports. Those sirens were unique because the only place Ive ever seen them used was in the German Stuka Dive bomers (JU 88). They made a hellish sound in the dive that psyched the ememy many times into full retreat. ONe could switch them on every time you had to pass someone. YOu know, kinda like a passing warning. :twisted:

What do you think?
But then again you guys here are way to young to remember that kind of stuff.

Wait a minute, Here is another idea. HOw bout someone here voluteering to make a bunch of styrafoam to look like gears wheels bolts and nuts. Next time you finally work you way past some road hoag trucker. Rig a sack to droop those out on the highway as you move back into the lane ahead of him. Maybe some fake smoke too just to make him think your getting ready to spill your guts all over the highway just in front of him.

Or maybe thats not such a good idea after all. :idea:
Are there any E ers here with attitude or what.

How about an Element Zamboni? I think that would be cool. As a young Canadian boy growing up, I always dreamed of driving the Zamboni, but then, didn't we all...

Sorry Kayaker;
down here we dont see many Zamboni. I've never had the erge to drive a cotton picker either.

PS I tend to be more of a Proa OUtrigger kind a guy.

I like that one! The opening for the sunroof could be modified into a gun turrent...bullets might not be politically correct, but a giant paint-ball cannon would rock!

They did something similar to that with the Toyota Tundra and the motorcycle for the Terminator 3 movie, where the motorcycle came out of the passenger side of the truck and took off, then loaded back into the truck.
