Hello EOC!
I've been dreaming and lusting for an Element since I first saw the media blurbs re:Model X. I was very interested. Then with the '02 release of the '03
production models I became really interested. I requested a brochure from Honda. I still have it, with postmark 12/03.
Then I started seeing them
on the road. I stopped at a dealership and looked and drooled and the lust began in earnest...but alas, investment in my video production business seamed to soak up all the extra $$$ I wanted to set aside for a cool new ride so the lust continued, unrequited.
About a month ago I found and bought my '05 Cargo Khaki LX MT 1-owner off-lease with 83k miles for $9990! Yaaaeeee Haaawwww!!! I'm in love with a car again for the first time since I lost my '87 Porsche 944 to a u-turning dittz in a Toyota 4Skinner back in '92.
I haven't seen so much potential for outdoor fun in a car since my '69 VW Wesphalia Campmobile. I've always thought that about the Element. But it's going to take a lot less maintenance/worry traveling and probably more "camper's ingenuity" to have as much fun camping.
My Christmas presents this year? A Helm Service Manual, HD floormats, Access. Rear 12v outlet, cool Element Hat AND Cabana Tent. What a haul!
I hope to contribute to the EOC community in the days to come.
Cheers!
John
P.S. If anyone has an '05 Honda Element Brochure booklet they'd care to part with reasonably, I'd love to have one!
