Laugh if you want but I just bought a Honda Element

You've dethroned Ryan as ATOTer with the ugliest car

The xB looks pretty good. I'm sure that there's one ATOTer with an Aztek.

I'm not laughing but tell me, exactly how much does butt ugly cost these days?

I walked out the door with a fully loaded AWD model for 21K, which is less than even a fully loaded Matrix. So I'm not going to complain, I'm happy with what I got.

I like the new Element but I'm not sure I'd pass up a new Rav4 for one.

I tried like hell to get the rav, but couldn't get one in less than 2 weeks.
And I saved 4 grand

The Aztek makes the Element look like a Mclaren F1

Cool car, but putting 2 seats in the back when it could easily have been 3? That's stupid.

Well, I'm single and using it as a daily commuter so that's not really an issue.

They come in AWD now? That's pretty cool.

Yes, that's the main reason I bought one, as I said my 4-runner died, and I needed a cheap vehicle that could get me to work in the winter.

Looks tons better than an xB and isn't totally gutless. The mono-tone ones look pretty good. Enjoy your car

thanks, I'll enjoy it, my '94 4-runner blew up the other day on the way to work, so I was kinda in a jam.

Rats. I could have had a nice, low mileage motor in it for less than your dp

you can probably buy it in an auction in the next few days !

Not worth it to get it to Cali. Besides, its probably got some rust on it anyway.

The body was pretty clean, a little rust on the bumpers but other than that it was a nice truck. Only very minor dings in the body. I would have driven it for another 100k miles if the head gasket didn't blow along with a few other problems.

When everything is painted, the element actually looks decent.

Plus it is K24/K series powered, the engine parts and aftermarket are interchangeable with the RSX, TSX, etc. If you ever decide to build a box sleeper, you have the right place to start.

Don't think I haven't already thought about a turbo!

The last dyno shows what the engine can do, but you'll need built internals to make it reliable.
