Toaster on Wheels? Or My First Car?

Happy Day of Sabbath (although there's quite the confusion whether it's Saturday or Sunday) to all. Recently I was put into an awkward (there's the title again) situation regarding my first automobile. Driving along the bumpy roads of Shreveport, an acquaintance pointed out how "horrific" Honda Elements are. You may be agreeing with this fellow but let me tell you. She was an absolute delight.

Sadly, this is the only picture I have of her. I was 16.
Please don't judge me.

Fun Fact #1: My father was the first Element owner in Shreveport. Talk about having a great title. 

Fun Fact #2: The seats fold out to become a queen sized bed (wink).

Literally.

Once upon a time, Meredith-Grace and I were waiting to pick up a fellow coworker from baseball practice. To pass our time we unfolded all of the seats and began practicing gymnastics and doing front rolls from one end to another. Thought you should know.

Fun Fact #3: It's completely water proof. So next time you may accidentally drive into a large body of water, let's go with a lake, the interior will be a-okay. (Thank the lord!!) 

Fun Fact #4: For some reason, Honda installed a card table in the trunk (Just in case you need to pull over and play a quick game of poker.)

As I was searching the worldwide web for images of
this beaut, I came across ElementOwnersClub.com

Fun Fact #5: We sold my little Georgia-peach to an Indian man in Dallas (possibly for $100...?).

Fun Fact #6: I "suped-her-up" before we sold the precious gem:

I would rather have the Creed song "Six Feet From the Edge"
playing in my ears for a week than drive this.

I hope my Fun Facts have possibly encouraged you to drive one of these bad boys around. It really was a fantastic way of transportation. Hmm. I miss the Element and the memories along with it. Good times, great oldies, 95.7. Side note: the Honda Element is in no way a "Soul" or "Cube" or "futuristic minivan" or even "a toaster on wheels", she/he (whichever you feel is necessary) is a car of her own kind. A majestic type if I may say so myself. Enjoy relaxation today folks, back to reality we go. BYE!
