Yesterday I was looking at cars, I need something to drive in the snow, so I can park the MINI. You know all the crap they throw on the road and just don't want to have to change tires all that, anyway the salesperson shows me a Honda Element, I think okay let's take it for a spin. Were driving and I give it a little gas to see what it will do, the salesperson says to me "It's probably a little faster than your used to" I just looked at her a little dumb founded and then just started cracking up. Needless to say I didn't buy the element. I got a Toyota Tacoma instead.

 

What was she thinkin'???? You shoulda taken her for a test drive in the JCW!!!

 

Element is probably one of the slower cars in production lol

 

And its horrible in the snow, or even the rain. I did a 180 on the freeway in one.

 

LOL! Very cute story, Sandie! I'm moving this from MINI Talk to Off Topic :: Autos.

 

Well, at least the Honda Element commercial with the crab is funny!
(I want to pinch)

Please tell me you bought from another dealer, or that this sales person didn't get your comisson.

Interesting what the rest of the world thinks about our go-karts

 

I would've said, "Oh yeah! Is this thing turbo charged? I'm sorry, this vehicle just has too much engine for me."

 

haha yeah, just tell her "This IS too much for me.....show me something in a V6 Buick"

 

That sounds alot like the guy at the car wash telling me i'd like the MINI better if it had a V6

 

elements are ugly. looks like an old stagecoach...where's the horsie? oh, you
sales lady?

 

You might! or a V12!!!
