well the days of lugging my ton of wet and sand filled gear in either my:

1. old, smelly and often unreliable Jetta

or

2. old, smelly, gas guzzling and often unreliable Bronco

are done.

Honda Element baby!

You might call it ugly.. I say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

Team Element!

GO TEAM!

I give it 3 weeks till it has the "East Beach Funk". Enjoy that new car smell, cuz it ain't gonna last long!
(Anyone remember T-Dubb's Kia?, worst smelliing vehicle EVER!!!:( )

Team Element-al needs some new blood, you just have to run through the mangroves naked to make it official...
Congratulations Bryan!

Nice Bryan! I went and looked at one a few months ago but car max wanted to screw me on the trade in... Think AMber and Chris already crew members. Either way, nice purchase ane enjoy!

my kite instructor likes them so much he has two of them. one of them is for our crew and our gear(its smelly and gritty) and the other is nice and clean for driving the out-of-towner, tourist clients back and forth to the beach for their $100 per hour lessons.

nice move, probly WAY more fuel efficient than my ride!!! You should check out some Husky Liners for your floorboards and maybe save a little wear and tear. I don't see how you guys do it with cars/suv. I love having a truck with a lid. No matter how much funk is on your gear, you throw it in the back and shut the lid. It's locked up, safe and the funk is contained!!! Don't get me wrong dude, not bashing your ride, I just like the option of hose-ing out the back and having a funk barrier!!! However, 10mpg requiring 93 octane adds up to the price of a new kite REALLY fast:(

Welcome to the club Bryan! Can't wait to check it out. A few words of advice. Apparently with the rubber floors, if you have any sand on the floor and turn the air or heat on, the sand gets blown around (nothing to stick to) and supposedly clings to the "lube" on the wheels that run the heating and air system and it can jam. I didn't believe the dealer when i brought it in,(they said i wasn't the first one with this problem) but they showed me, and sure enough.... sand sticks really well to lube.

Maybe that's why the backside is so popular? LOL! Anyway, they suggested i get cheapo floormats for the front. I told them i hadn't been driving thru a sandstorm or on the beach, but apparently a little sand on the ground is all you need. Other than that, I love it.

I was even able to fit Toby inside with no sunroof!!

I think we need "team elemental" stickers. Ebone? Chris? Ha ha. Its definitely a GREAT kite vehicle.

Hope to see you soon....its been FOREVER!

It smelled like Sizzling SHIZZLE,(especially after the chinese buffet) but didn't have nearly as much pimp style as my Isuzu truck.
Ahhhh, the good old days, I sure miss not having a payment though.:(

Had an Element and loved it. We traded it in for a new CRV which just has a better ride. My wife was getting sick in the back seat. That is the only negative of that car is the ride in the back is a bit rough. But I am sure your kite gear takes Dramamine everyday.
