Hi I saw a commercial recently there is a company that rents carpet cleaning machines in Birmingham Al. and will bring them to you in (drumroll) a new E (thrifty clean dot com). Its a silver one with lots of decals I was wondering if anyone else has seen one used as a commercial vehicle?

Here in San Diego, I've seen one used by a moving company. Considering how often mine's been borrowed by friends, I'm not surprised. Maybe I could make some extra money on the weekends...if I wasn't hauling mountain bikes all the time.

I've seen two Elements dressed in commercial garb in the last two days or so, but in traffic on the freeway, and since closing speed (in opposite directions) is roughly 120 mph, I couldn't actually recognize the logos to see whose they were. We have all kinds of road spray and salt scum, in addition to sun glinting off the snow to hinder visibility. The one I saw today though, reminded me of the Geek Squad new Beetles (white with black fenders). Don't know how wide-spread they are, but the Geek Squad is a computer repair business now owned by Best Buy, headquartered here in the Twin Cities.

I am actually a home computer consultant and freelance tech trainer...as soon as I can set an appointment I'll have my logo and company info on the rear side windows...I'll post pics as soon as it's done.

i use this kid all day long w/my dogs. in a town with a plethora 8) of VIPs chauffeured around in black sedans, i think of mine as a k9 towncar. a local pet supply store uses a gg w/o logos as a delivery vehicle. personally i think they bought theirs because i kept showing off mine, but they refuse to fess up.
the other day on the way to a client's house i realized that a nbp like mine was right behind me in traffic. then i noticed the purple light on top and thought, " hmmm... a securitiE". a few blocks after it had turned off i remembered what purple lights are for.

I saw this while running around town today and remembered this old thread (although I'm not sure why this is in "POLL Central"). I think these folks deliver oxygen and respiratory products to patients in the Charleston area. Sorry for the crummy photos, but I was in a hurry!

Oh, another thing. I'm sure these people keep their fleet a lot cleaner that these shots make it appear, but this is pollen season in Charleston and everything gets covered with a thick layer of yellow powder in a matter of hours.

Our local NBC affiliate here in Tulsa has modified a blue one to use as a "storm chaser" - with all the windshield problems I question whether that was a wise decision!

We have one in in our small town up here, it's the maintenance truck for the water district! They took all the seats out and modified it to carry took and water "stuff". It goes by so fast, I can never snap a pic of it!

I just saw one today for a Cookie Company. The Honda Dealership also has one with advertisements for their dealership. I found out that it was their shuttle. Great choice for a comfortable shutter, as long as you don't have to take more than 3 others. :)

i've seen a few of them in manhattan, graphic services bureaus, that kind of thing, but i've only started to look out for e's recently (since i'd only got mine eight days ago) :oops:

my guess though, we'll soon see many more probably on city streets, the perfect car for small businesses and for city hopping and messengering...

Heck! If you're talkin Keebler elves, you can fit MUCH more than 4 inside an "E"! Why, there's the glove compartment, door pockets, Rear pockets, cup holders... the possibilities are limitless! ;)

saw one this morning, just across the street from my office in soho:

a black e with white and orange type on sides and back, pupculturenyc, pampered pet grooming, daycare and spa :wink:

so i guess its a good thing that the e comes with washable seats, polyaethulane floors and no floormats ;-)

Locan NBC affiliate has a black one with the pea**** painted on both sides. I personally think it looks ugly, but the fact that they keep their cars really dirty might have something to do with it.

One of the local radio stations, also has a black element with their logos on it (much better looking, plus their cars always look cleaner). Last time I drove through there they also had a black scion. I will try to remember and take my camera next time I drive through there. 8)

We own a printing business and our delivery vehicle is a '03 EX. We love it so much we are actually waiting for our local dealer here to stock the '05 to expand our "E" family.

We haul everything from 50'000 newspapers to over 100,000 sheets of paper and have not had one problem! We opted to go with the chrome vinyl because it complements the "E" nicely and does not take away from the vehicle.
