I better not regret it for the amount of money I am spending on this car. hahaha I am pretty sure I will be happy though aside from no 4wd I think I will be alright.

I also did the Element switch!

I traded in my '04 Element for my MCS. The element was more practical, but my Mini is 1000% more fun! You'll love the transition, going faster, sticking to the road, you can even CORNER (no rollover warning sticker anymore!)

You might wanna rethink the ipod adapter due to the cost, because the AUX input works just like on our Elements, and in fact it's even more convenient (located closer to the driver's position, under the A/C controls in the hidey-hole).

Are you sure you couldn't hose out your Element? My '04 clearly had drain holes located in several spots, those little slats in the floor leading out the doors... ?
