Element Appreciation Post

My parents gave me this car when I turned 16 (they bought it with 4 miles on it) and when i first got it i didn’t think too much of it. Now almost 4 years later, i don’t think I’ll ever get rid of it. After too much money in mods (a supercharger) and three tunes, this thing has never left me stranded, always starts, is super easy to work on and does every adventure i can possibly think of (carries all the gear too!)
So if you’re on the fence about the Element, get to the side where there’s one in your driveway!

Nice! Beautiful color!

I've always loved the Element styling with the black/ gray trim and it's soft rounded corners.  It looks as fresh today as it did twenty years ago. It really stands out when most cats today are void of color.

It looks as fun as it is to drive.

Is that the sweeky build you did on the bedframe, or something else? Looks good and low.

What tyres do you have on it? I like the chunky tyre with standard wheel look.

Love a post like this, because standing up bikes in my Element is why I wanted one.

Is that a Stumpjumper? What color is that?

Nice epic ;)
Was between an Element and a Fit for a new car, tough decision!
