Driving a Honda element now as my
daily driver.

Interesting, second time this week the Element has been mentioned here. I
have one, too, a 2004 EX. For a while I was on an Element list, and I found
quite a few Element owners were either current or ex Bus owners. Some have
even referred to it a modern day VW Bus, although I wouldn't make that
comparison. The Honda sales brochure for 2004 showed a bunch of 20
somethings loading mountain bikes, surf boards, etc. into it, and one photo
of a guy camping in his. It is roomy, but it ain't no bus. Honda missed
it's target market with the Element though, I think the average age of
Element owners is around 45. Right after I bought mine, we saw so many gray
haired little old ladies driving them that my wife and daughter started
calling it the "Gammy car"      Jeff
