    Yup. Honda Element owner - I’ve hauled dirt bikes, desks, lumber and mulch. Fits into a compact space. Shitwagons like this are ridiculous.

    I wonder when someone’s going to go Nader and sue these (cybertrucks but also the entire spectrum of jacked up never-been-in-dirt macho-mobiles) - unsafe at any speed, ridiculously wasteful in fuel efficiency etc.

        I’ve been harassing my local honda dealership regularly for a new element. At first, they thought I was joking but it’s been literal years now, I stop in, find some new salesduder/dudette, tell them how my old honda is getting long in the tooth, I’ve got solid credit and have purchased 3 hondas in the past. they could make sale TODAY, do they by an chance have a new element coming?

        hope, hope, eager hope, excited hope, then WHAM… crestfallen.

        For some reason, I’m far more into the Element than Honda ever was it appears.

          its not just you. Honda Elements are actually going UP in value. 99% of cars aren’t. People love them to pieces.

            I wish I had the funds to do an EV conversion of my 2005. Replace the engine with a modest tesla front end, replace the fuel system with a modest battery -150 mile range (giving me 50 miles of shit hauling lol)… great form factor.
