We pulled the trigger this weekend and got an Element! All I can say is this vehicle rocks! The big lab (Jake) you see in our pictures is 13 and was having a very hard time getting into our other two cars with backseats. We tried a ramp but he was too nervous on it. He's always ran and jumped into the backseat all his life. Now his old joints don't let him jump into the backseat anymore. But with the Element's suicide doors and HUGE floor we were able to stack up large steady floor pads and let him gently walk into the vehicle. No slipping or anything. Now we can also put our road and mountain bikes in without having to worry about a bike rack. This car is simply amazing!

Anyway, we're so happy we can take Jake back out on little adventures in his last few years and not have to worry everytime we try to get him into the car.

You said you guys like pics...well here ya go! :)

Well I had read that polished metallic was the fastest color so I had to get it.! LOL.

BTW - did you notice the color of my Miata next to it? Even better, my wife's car is the same color as well, just a little darker shade of gray. So we have THREE gray cars!

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Welcome aboard, CTtech, and congrats.

I too lived in Iowa - Storm Lake to be exact. My dad's first teaching job was at Buena Vista College.

P.S. Be sure to cover you grill. :)
