I ran into LittleDogBox at the local coffeeshop. Apparently...we're neighbors!

She sure keeps her SOP cleaner than my EBP!

My first license plate was ORNGE BX. My current plate is ORANGE E.

Today, I was trying to decide what would be most appropriate for my next plate.

I couldn't decide between MUD E or DUST E.

My husband suggested DIRT E to cover all the bases. :?

Fox,

I like your plate, I've been considering a new tag as well. POPTRT or POPTART. :D Something like that.. I'd like SweetPea, but that seems to be taken everyway I can abr. it... :?

Oh Well....

LOL DustE! I forgot about you.

I think MUD E would be more appropriate for me anyway.

No problema, I don't think I'll be getting personalized tags this year anyway. State, Federal, and Auto taxes all due in the same month! Maybe next year :roll:.

It's only $10 \0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0more per year for vanity plates here in Virginia, so it's not a big deal.

My E is the first car I've had that ever inspired me to get them though. And I chose the plates with autumn leaves around the edge- colors complement the SOP! :D

i wish i had an E! neighbor.
everyone who lives around me right now it kinda stuck up, and the other E! in my neighborhood is driven by this dude that is a complete jerk.
i stopped once and walked up and started talking to the dude, you know casual conversation and stuff..."Hey, nice Element!" "Have you done any mods on it?"
he was all stand offish and short with me and stuff. and when i handed him the EOC business card thing and told him he should check it out sometime that it was really good for information and technical/care/mod stuff, he was like yeah sure. buzz off.

i'm thinking of relocating to a more E! friendly neighborhood.

Don't do it, bOOmEr03! Stand your ground and keep that E-love in your heart 'cuz it will always make you smile. He can keep his crappy attitude, and probably hangs around people just like him. His loss. Besides, having to drive a little way to see other E people lets you drive your E more. :D

It's just the universe's way of putting enough "E" into his neighborhood...give it time and the mc squared will surely follow.

He's probably one of the people who didn't do the research before hand and know what he was getting into when he bought it. He probably complains because it doesn't get 40 mpg, only seats 4, has suicide doors, and he can't see the steering wheel. I'd say consider the source and blow him off.

On the other hand, I can't get ANYONE up here in Hagerstown to wave back when I wave at them!!!!!

I can always count on spotting an E whenever I go to the Ikea in College Park, Md...

I always tend to see them at the Wegmann's in State College, PA.

I saw LexE while I was doing laundry in Bellefonte once.

One of these days I'll have to drive and drive until I run into Mr. and/or Mrs. Tango.

Not sure what ventricle Far N Dallas is in but since I have seen a whopping two E's since I bought mine I would probably recognize you right away. Far N Dallas is so NOT E country - heck, even the HS kids here drive BMW's.

I bought mine at Lute Riley, Tango. I had that impre$$ion of the area....

Yeah, apparently people in Montgomery County, MD, do NOT drive Elements. It's beneath them.

OTOH - there were 3 in the lot at walmart this past weekend - NOT including the Isotope. :)

Everytime I see an E, I wave, but it seems like that most E owners don't give a crap any other E owners. :confused:

Yeah, no one up here waves either. The other problem up here is they're all going WAY faster than me! Catching up just to wave at them is almost like work. :twisted:

Hmm. Well, there's always at least one in a crowd. :)

I do see plenty in Montgomery County where I work, and I usually smile and wave, and occasionally get a wave back.

I don't have any friendly E owners in my city either. As a matter of fact, since I bought mine last Thursday I have only seen 2 others. Neither of them acknowledged StELla. I am sad...I want to be part of a friendly E city. No one within 300 miles of me even posts on here! C'mon, tell your midwest/n.central friends to join in!

That's what I wanna know!!!

Although I've gotta admit, this little thing moves quick once it gets up there. I have to keep a close eye on myself - I was doing 95 last night :shock: and thought I was doing 70 (in WV). Might just be that their E's are in a hurry to be shown off to as many folks as possible :grin:

Today I saw a huge RV pulling a sweet little silver Element behind it. They were from Georgia I think....I couldn't see the full license plate, but think I saw a peach. So, that puts my E sightings up to 4 since my purchase last week.
Where are they all in my city?

We saw 38 Elements today on our trip to Philadelphia and back. We counted two billboards with Element ads on them because Fergus thought they were funny. Apparently Honda's advertising in Philly and has its own AM radio station with all the Element/animal ads. We were only able to hear the crab one before we lost the signal but Fergus cracked up.

So, technically, we saw 36, and not one Kiwi besides mine.

One question though - when more than one Element travels together, what do you call it? Are they running in a pack, schooling, or tabling? I mean, you only see multiples periodically, so that would make them a periodic table of elements, right? (Fergus's joke, not mine.)

Does anyone else try to drive near other E's if they see them on the road?

Ah yes...a gaggle of geese, a murder of ravens, a covey of quail, a warren of rabbits, etc.

Elements (from the EOC at least) travel in a pride, yes?
