Just curious if there are any "family" members out there, especially in the Southern CA area, who are new Element owners? Would like to hear from you... perhaps get a "club" up and running. Interested?

Sorry, I'm in Mass though. (the state, not the church!) :wink:

Thanks for the response "inmyelement". By the way, great username.

Shoreline EX 4WD

Irvine here

Of course we are everywhere. I live out in Ptown on Cape Cod and have only seen two on the road out here. I'm still waiting for my SOP to come in. Going on 3 months now. Hope we are united before it gets so busy out here that I can't enjoy some good driving and quiet shopping time.

Picked mine up last night...It is just so ...wow. This constant silly smirk on my face is giving me age lines, I gotta stop!!! :D

Yup, ya got one here in Dallas!

Ok, I'll bite, what do you mean by "family" members?

Iskie

"family"="sopranos"?

"family"=what?

you're probably not "family" :lol:

Sorry to spoil the fun but...

Hawaiian E & isketerol & anyone else wondering - "family" in this context means gay/lesbian.

BTW, I think the folks participating in this thread should formalize this as a national Element club in the new e-clubs section.

[quote:a10da89942="eMass"]Hawaiian E & isketerol & anyone else wondering - "family" in this context means gay/lesbian.[/quote:a10da89942]

:lol: Damn, there goes our secret handshake... :)

Yeah, a national club sounds like a good idea. Now, just have to think of the right catchy acronym (like g/l diversity initiatives at work - mine is LeGEND for Lesbian Gay Employee Network Dallas)...

Maybe MEOW (Marvelous Element Owners World)... LOL (prolly not!)

Anyone else have any luck with the E gettin' them some? :shock:

The last round of pics I was taking drew a very nice person's attention that developed into a date after I demonstrated the potential the reclining seats offered.... :twisted:

Family here in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area of NC! We just got our E. Enjoying it so far. Plan to put larger tires on it on Monday.

Anyone going to the big bash in Pensacola, FL for Memorial Day Weekend? We'll be there with the E. Guess I'll see how many other family members have gotten one. Should be a crowd of at least 50,000-60,000.

Family here (hmm, in this city! what a surprise).

[quote:5baae30503="'da orange box"]Just curious if there are any "family" members out there...[/quote:5baae30503]

Well, I'm not "family," but we have several close friends who are. And I've watched Birdcage about a dozen times, so that should earn me some Brownie points or count for something, right? :lol:

Northern family member here. Somewhat happily dating and eagerly awaiting the arrival of my GG 5SPD Y. If you're planning on visiting Canada's beautiful capital of Ottawa let me know.

(raises hand) .. :D

Quite a few E's with HRC stickers around here...

Okay, rodaniel, you get some points. Now if you'd seen Moulin Rouge 50 or 60 times we'd make you a full-fledged adoptee. :lol:

OK, now I am confused. Is "family" a religious affiliation or a sociological phenomenon?

I might be "family" and just not owning up to it! :shock:

Jeepers, the question was answered a while back and I missed it.

And yes, proudly a member of the "family" here in Canada. :lol: Didn't my comments about my bf give that away? :lol:

While not a "family" member myself....I have many near and dear friends that are "family" and I used to live in "boys town" in Chicago....do I get a few points???? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Shall we create an unofficial PFLAG chapter for Element Owners? <grin>

Absolutely!!! :P Always great to have "family" supporters.

Iskie: I didn't know you were family. I suspect there are a couple of other family members in Ottawa - I saw a guy getting into his SOP E and the footwear said, Sister Mister.

Oh I let my freak flag fly when I want to. :lol:

I am a leading member of the GLBT affinity group in IBM Toronto. I will be at the IBM Pride booth, if there is a Pride event this year. If you're there, come look for me. Just say Element Owners Club real loud. :lol:

<Feeling like Ted in QAF waving his little flag> Happy Pride Month everyone. :D

Okay, okay, so I haven't seen - or even have a desire to see - Moulan Rouge, but my wife & I are both big QAF fans. Debbie on QAF is one of Dede's favorite TV characters ever!

Also the Hillcrest Ralph's & Trader Joe's are frequent haunts when we're out in San Diego... we were just there over Memorial Day weekend and had a great time.

I own both seasons of the original British QAF series, and both Season 1 and Season 2 of the Showtime/Showcase QAF. Well worth the investment to my mind. :D As well, I would recommend Metrosexuality. That's a fun series.

Okay Rodaniel. You're in. :lol: Both of you. Iskie: Loved the British QAF, but find myself enjoying the US version much more. Metrosexuality was fun though wickedly fast paced.
Watched All Over The Guy on tv the other day - highly recommend - very fun. And watch for Mambo Italiano to come to your town. Hysterically funny.

I'm not "family" but we have a lot of family friends who are, and one of them drives a GG Element. He saw mine, and had to have one...

When I was buying my "E", one of the salesmen at work asking me if the "E" was a "gay car". I howled because one of the other salesmen drives a VW Jetta which was rated the #1 gay car. T'was the Subatru Forester for lesbians. Who knows what the next survey might reveal.

I know I'm stereotyping a little and may get roasted for this, but it seems like Jeep is the unofficial gay brand. Seems like lots of gay guys drive Grand Cherokees and Wranglers. And the predominant color seems to be black.

[quote:e5b6170a3b="isketerol"]VW Jetta which was rated the #1 gay car.[/quote:e5b6170a3b]

The Jetta is the number one HOT CHICK car...especially in Los Angeles...good god. As for #1 gay car, haha, I have to go with the Miata on that one, a'la Corky Romano... :lol:

The VW Jetta is also the official car of Lincoln Park Trixies.....and yes there is a REAL club!

check it out....

www.LPTrixie.com
God...how I hate Trixies....they stand for just about everything that I loathe!

Funny how most people stereotype me to be the responsible father of several teenage kids. People drive waht they like, so if a large number of my "family" members drive Jeeps, that's alright with me. I vote for the "E" as my official "gay" conveyance. <grin>

So I see the guy with the Sister Mister shoes again at the grocery store. Say hello, ask him about his E (element) not the other E :twisted: He loves it. Tell him about this website. We are soon joined by his underwear/fireman calendar/supermodel boyfriend. They love the car. They go everywhere in it. They love each other. Ah, puke. :lol:
The GG that is in my neighbourhood is owned by a lovely elderly lesbian couple. It seems I've gone from buying a hip vehicle to a hip replacement vehicle. :roll:

Okay, I confess, I was really thinking this topic was going to be about "family" a la The Sopranos.

Duh! :oops:

That said, I'm not a member of "the family", but I'd like to be adopted as an eccentric cousin. I'm straight, not narrow. :wink:

I think most 'family' members welcome anyone who is open minded and accepting of differences. I'm glad so many member of EOC are so open minded. Nice to know that maybe people can put their prejudices aside. I feel great to be a 'family' member and part of the EOC family! :P

<----- Morelli

Iskie: are you still going to be working a booth at Toronto Pride? Thinking of actually going this year - maybe someone will ask me to marry them.

Yes, I am going to to be at the IBM booth at the Toronto Pride. Not exactly sure awhen and for how long, but I will be there. Good luck on finding someone at Pride. Infortunately most guys will have something other than marriage on their mind.

Got my "E" two weeks ago tomorrow, took off the dealer license plate frame and put on the rainbow colors... Friend said I did not need it, cause everyone would know I was gay driving that car anyway... which is AOK by me.
Any other "family" members down here in beautiful Ft LaDeDa

8) E PRIDE IN DETROIT-WINDSOR Hello all! Got my E 3 months ago...and already 12,000 KM's on it! Can you say R O A D T R I P - to Nova Scotia in the 1st month. I knew I got that extra KM warranty for a reason! Just can't get out of the car!
Seen another E at Prontos in Royal Oak, MI and another E at the Complex in Windsor. We're everywhere! Now we just have to find each other and have some sort of Elemental Gay Picnic in Detroit-Windsor this summer. Anyone up for it?

Windsor is a good 5 hours from Mississauga. Kinda long run for me. London would be just right, but there aren't that many of us family members with "E"s to meet up.

:wink:
Female family member in the suburbs of "philly"

Only a few more days and my GG E will be delivered. It will wear a tasteful rainbow flag in the back window along with the EOC sticker. I've decided to forego the leather and bear flag stickers I had on my old vehicle. Now that I've roped a boyfriend I don't need to advertise for dates via my car's bumper. :lol: Of course, should things change my E will proudly zip around town stickered up acting as vehicular pimp for me :wink:

I've been reading and posting on the boards now for several days, and was happy to find the family thread today! 8) Jeff and Coy here in Baltimore. Bought our E last Friday (Haven't quite decided which rainbow sticker to buy for it yet), and drove off the dealer's lot and to Rehoboth Beach for the weekend along with our greyhound, Presto. We're in Rehoboth every other weekend. Any other G/L Rehoboth Beach bound E's out there?

Jeff and Coy
228 Country Club, RB in town

but named an honorary one by my friends...

how about GLEE for the Gay/Lesbian Element Enthusiasts???? :wink:

The only problem is that it leaves out B and T.

another others ideas???

Good acronym, LaJolla. Sometimes it's hard to include everybody.

Welcome, VengaBus. :) Lucky you - going to Rehoboth every other weekend. I am sooooo envious. I recall my one and only trip there - it rained for 7 days straight. Still had a good time though - might have been the alkyhol :shock: If you ever travel North, say hello.

Thanks, crazycat! 8) Sorry to hear it rained when you were in Rehoboth. We had several weekends of rain at the beginning of the summer, but it's been real nice lately. It's only about 2.5 - 3 hours drive from Baltimore. Our beach house is having a theme party coming up in a couple of weeks--Roman Holiday! Would love to visit Canada again soon. We've been to Montreal, but never Ontario.

my wife and i are considered family by "family" friends.
can we apply for adoption to the e "family" as well?

pedsflight...we're durhamites as well. live close to school of science and math. we have a gg e.

give a honk or wave if you see us!!

peace

After a week's delay we're heading to Provincetown on Saturday. If you see a GG with Ontario plates and a club sticker in the back window, it's me! Feel free to say hello

Hey Switters, we live in Duke Park off of Club. I'll definitely wave if I see you. We have a EPB with side steps, and other extras.

And to Crazy Cat, enjoy P-town. I'm headed up there on August 20th. Counting down the days. Going to spend a couple of days in Hyannis also. And we will get to see Melissa Etheridge on the 26th in Hyannis. Can't wait! :lol:

pedsflight.
i think i saw yours the other day. some really good friends of ours just moved into a house on the corner of glendale and dacian (i think it's dacia). saw an ebp on the way to their place.
i'm certainly getting old. it's a highlight in my day to see another element.

Getting my Silver EX 5spd this week!
Off will come the dealer decal, on will go the rainbow stripe. Hope that will let it attract a better class of car in the parking lot, instead of those trash talkin' Toyotas.

brian

when your paternal grandfather was gay living the straight lie & your father's only brother was out before you were born, you gotta be friendly just out of love for family. i'm not sure if my uncle michael is a member of the eoc but he was the first eo in my family (ATL, you know i love ya'll). a quick question though, when did the rainbow family change over from being a bunch of stinkin' hippies? (& where did all the hippies go? :( )

i saw this thread and instantly thought deadheads. i am part of the dead family, but not the gay family. although i have a gay family member. confused yet?



:D

You're family, Tapestry. In the extended PFLAG sense.

Obviously, I know how to use the search function, was just wondering what this board's attitude was toward the lgbt community and was nicely surprised. Although was surprised not see any off-topic discussions on gay marriage.

Just picked up my Element this past Saturday. The dealer asked why I was purchasing an Element and told him honestly that finances were going to be changing in the future with my boyfriend going to law school and I needed a cheaper daily driver. He even asked when I picked up the car why my boyfriend didn't come down with me.

I'm pretty active on a lot of car forums seeing how I've bought 5 new cars in the last 3 years and it's quite a surprise to see how different car forums react to out gay members. Focaljet.com (ford focus) and NASIOC (subaru impreza) are awesome. rangerpowersports (ford ranger) was o.k. and evolutionm.net (mitsubishi evolution) is awfull. Nice to see Element owners are cool with it and that I won't be the only out person on this board.

I'm also part of the "extended family", in the PFLAG sense (as reference above).

-brendan

I also immediately assumed Deadhead...interesting how the mind works, huh? We look for and find exactly what we are looking for :wink:

Not family, except in the straight but not narrow sence. Though there are a TON of Es here in Seattle with rainbows, including 2 at the real estate office I used to work out of!

peace-
jesse

BTW - I have never met a bunch of nicer, openminded folks...in person or on the web!

Family here too and love my Element. Had not seen this thread before. My partner drives a typical gay car, a Jeep Grand Cherokee (POS). I also have other gay friends here in Atlanta with Elements.

Too funny, what a small world, my boyfriend drives a Jeep Grand Cherokee too, then again we both use to live in Atlanta as well, but right now we're stuck up in Northern New England.

BTW - I have never met a bunch of nicer, openminded folks...in person or on the web!

jesse : Isn't that the truth! In spite of the sometimes semi-rigid opinions some of us have concerning the really important things in life like: (not an inclusive listing, just some examples ... :) )
- which wax is best for our Element
- whether to name our Element or not
- what gender our Element might be
- which roof rack is best
- which tires to replace the OEM ones with
- and, which color is best...

For me, people who appreciate the Element, are exactly the kind of people I find most interesting - diverse, eclectic, and in some instances perhaps a bit eccentric, but always a delight. Life's brief, enjoy it and the Element!!

I must say, I am delighted to find such an eclectic group of all sorts and conditions around here!

Family here, my girlfriend drives a CR-V. My sister drivers a CR-V, and my brother-in-law has an Odyssey. I guess that also makes us a Honda Family. Now if I could only have my brother see the light.

:D[/quote:46ad44c0a1]

Here is an odd thing for you. My partner's Jeep was in the shop AGAIN, and while I was chatting with the mechanic I ask him about this OLD bus sitting in the back. Turns out is was the ORIGINAL Greatful Dead tour bus. It still has tons of stuff in it like the cash register they used to sell stuff when on tour. The bus is Old and junky, and in need of a lot of care.

Oh, I think we've got a little confusion about the "family" portion of this thread title going on here. Gonna hafta send Carson, Ted, Jai, Thom, & Kyan over to help with some education...

LOL, no no confusion here. Definitely "family", just pointing out that my family also happens to be a "Honda Family" given the number of Honda owners in it.

Stuck in Northern new england? :shock: Oh come now, it's not that bad is it? :wink:

Okay, at the risk of getting flamed horrendously, I hafta ask a somewhat stereotyping question...

Is it just me or is there a disproportionally large segment of the "family" community who own Jeep vehicles? Almost seems like Jeeps are the official ride for gay folks. And Jeeps owned by "family" members seem to be predominantly black in color.

Maybe this is all covered in the brochure that they pass out with the free toaster? :wink:

Hehehe... no, I thought that Volvos were the vehicle of choice for gay folks! ;)

No, seriously... as long as it as a rainbow sticker in the back window or a flower on the dash any vehicle will do!

Put me down in the family, and friend, neighbor, and co-worker of "family" column :D


Amy

I think this information might be a little dated, but Jeeps are big with the men, and Volvos are for the women. At least that the WeHo way!

Of course, now's there's the E, and we all love it! (For different reasons, of course.)

I'm another new family memeber with my 1 week old GG EX. I always had a feeling we were drawn to the different, this car fits me and my bud to a T.

Congrats and welcome to the family Clockguy! You guys are gonna like this ride! :)

I'm family :D. Kinda refreshing to know that everyone is so friendly here. This thread shows so much love that I thought I'd throw y'all a big, sloppy, wet kiss.

I'm not a member of the family but I have friends who are. Definately a supporter here.

PFLAG member since 95. Glad to see that this thread has been so strong for so long, and that the EOC crowd has been so cool about it. E people mostly seem to be good people.

Friend of the family.

Howdy, Jake! Glad to have you as a member of the E-xtended family!

I missed this thread before. Family here! And if the owner of the green E in this photo is out there, drop me a line! I know you are family too-- since our parents live next to each other... :) This photo was taken xmas day 2004...

Me and my partner just drove to Chattanooga to visit two sets of gay coupled friends. First couple(guys) both drive CR-Vs. Later that night we drove over to couple number 2(gals) and they have a new Element. When we went out to dinner I stated, you will have to drive because we don't keep the back seats in because we use the Element to haul DJ equipment. They replied, we don't keep our back seats in either because we use the Element to haul the furniture we design.

So, we drove all over Chattanooga like a gay Element parade.

*hand raise* ... family here... Costa Mesa....

Been a member of this EOC a long time, they are my family too even though I haven't posted in a while. Great bunch of people here that have been very kind & helpful. Had a great time at an Element meetup. I've had my Element since 2003. Now ol' Elly is having some small problems in her aging self. Had some questions.
Nice to have "family" on board. Good to see such diversity & acceptance.

I dont understand why ist necessary to fill in info.... and even so, thanks!

It's actually very useful so if you have a question, we can see what model you have, what year, where you are, etc. Helps a lot when answering questions :D

I see... We russian have other mentality while you decide what new chip to do in yuor machine, we think how to buy more cheap and not from lithuania:D

That's a distinction that's made here also - there's cheap (inexpensive price) and then there's cheap (bad quality - Lithuania) ;-)

Aside from that, the profile information is useful if you're asking maintenance or repair questions, that tells us what you may be dealing with, if there are any known problems with that model year, etc.

I saw the Come to the dark side...we've got cookies T-shirt at one of the malls this last weekend and wanted it...sooooo bad!!

For most of the general public yes, they just take their car to the dealer or a service shop. But Element owners tend to be very do-it-yourself and a lot of us do our own service outside of major body or engine repairs :D

Family here. Partner and I together 16 years this may. :shock: Family here in the boonies of the Florida panhandle.....
