Honda Element, nice ride for what it is, but doesn't that make the decision easy??

I'd a taken the Sharpie Marker out of my glovebox, written S-O-L-D on the windshield and camped out 'till they opened.

Yeah, I changed from Silver and Black to Lightning Blue and Silver.

I just decided the silver and black was a little to plain and I wanted something a little more flashy to turn heads.

I love black but my last vehicle was an F-250 diesel that was jet black and chrome.

After years of washing and waxing that huge black vehicle I was burnt out on maintaining a black vehicle and needed a change.

But Black is still one of the classiest and sexiest colors for a vehicle and the Roadster is a lot less surface area to maintain.

Good choice!

No, she likes the Element (and it hold a LOT more gear). She can't drive a stick (my current Mini's a stick too). If and when I go for it I'll trade the 2007S. Can one option the Coupe with the Recaro seats, or only the Roadster? I've go no use for a convertable. I rarely open my sunroof as it is.

I love this car! However I hate the dealers used car manager.

Know anyone who wants a mint 2012 white & black fully loaded All4 Countryman with only 2500 miles. I am hoping to get back $35K of the $38K I originally paid.

Nuts! huh. But what can one do when one falls in love.
Tickled for you !!
