New (to me) Daily Driver...

[KargoMaster]

Heheheh...








It's got two regular doors...









It's got a tailgate...










It's got 4wd...









It gets far better gas mileage than the trucks that I have...











Ok, it's a Honda Element... really 4 doors (two suicide), really all wheel drive, not 4x4, but you get the picture...
My neighbor has already asked for my "Man card" back, so I expect nothing but ridicule... so let the bashing begin... :D

Below was the other night when the rain turned to snow... It would ALMOST fit on the back of the truck...

And yes, last night I got the first speeding ticket in it... :o

[JeffK5]

Dude, you gave up your man card years back! .... Remeber you have a blue YJ..;)

Hell, I drive a mini van !?!

[Aquaman]

I like the Elements. I'm trying to talk my parents in to getting one. Very versatile little vehicle. What kind of gas mileage are you getting/expecting??

[carwash]

fag.

[maddhatter]

If it's not a CJ, Samurai or FORD I'm not going to be crazy about it but I hope it works out well for ya.
Nice looking rig really.

why not a fj cruiser? i like them better and there more off roadable

I like the Elements. I'm trying to talk my parents in to getting one. Very versatile little vehicle. What kind of gas mileage are you getting/expecting??

I've been getting 24-28mpg, and (as I mentioned about the speeding ticket) I haven't been "letting the grass grow"... The all wheel drive has been getting a workout in the rain as well... (rear axles about the size of my pinky... HA!)

Because (and you'll have to have faith for this one) I have an offroad rig... a purpose built trail vehicle, I know that my opinion is just that... but I would never want to subject a daily driver to what I do to a vehicle offroad... as my parent's used to tell me I'm "rough on things"... I believe even our Tresurer Bob will agree... last time he was in my rig, I jumped it off the lip of the creek right there at camp with the Dana60 about 3 feet in the air... BLAM!! ...trailer queen forever.


This one is my fuel efficient daily driver... this fuel efficiency thing is what took the Wranglers and FJ-Cruisers out of the mix... they can't touch 24-28mpg in a 4.0L or even a 2.4L (which I see is 18-ish... not much better than the 5.3L in the GMC)

Besides, I'm cheap, I paid cash for this one, and couldn't get close to what I paid for an FJ-Cruiser... They're just too new... I found 1 that was in the range I wanted to pay... clicked on it, to see salvage title in all caps... and the thing was STILL WRECKED!!! Front and rear just DESTROYED... ummm, no.

Do I dig the aesthetics of the FJ's more than the E... yep, but I guess I'm just not that discriminating... :D I also have two kids, and the rear suicide doors beat the pooh out of strapping them into a Wrangler back seat.

[sarge]

It's official , Brad you just lost 2 cool points !



Bob please note this in the books.



Hehehehe , just Kidding there buddy :D :D

[KargoMaster]

Now THAT'S what I thought that I would hear...

Thanks Sarge, I'll remember that when I'm pulling your vehicle and/or parts back to camp. :D

Or maybe I'll just start ripping on Camaros... hehehe

[sarge]

hehehehe , so this pull'n junk back to camp is going to be in what year ????????

[77goldeneagle]

like a go-cart with headlights.................they are good on gas and right now that seems to be king!!.................it sucks bad for the diesel folks I'm kinda greatfull NOW that my excursion is NOT a diesel like I was looking for when I bought it but a V-10

let them poke fun I say embrace it make it your own get some autozone spinners and pimp it all over town!!

[KargoMaster]

thanks 77... I'm having fun driving it, beats the crap out of an auto trans truck.

I hear you Sarge, I'm just not listening...

[sarge]

It's funny that Carwash calls you a FAG and yet no response on the board to him ...... HMMMMMMM !!!
