We've finally got a new vehicle. The debates are over and the votes, (all two of 'em) were tallied. We are the very proud owners of a Honda Element. We eneded up getting a 2003 unused, so the price was in the right spot.
The more we drive it the more we like it, its extremely roomy and the ride is absolutely comfortable! The sound system is damn good too. The car has been officially named, "Ellie" which of course is short for Element.
All we need now is to get one of those new nifty side-loading roof racks for or kayaks and we'll at least appear to be one of those "active-type" couples...(hey perception is half the battle).
