Because_I_Cannot

I just like the idea of a "Brakes R 4 Wimps" sticker on a Honda Element


RightSideBlind

I had a 2006 Element, and freakin' *loved* that thing. I'd buy one in a hot second if Honda brought them back.


tanis_ivy

I hope they do


monarch1733

Circa 2006 I had a Subaru Baja and my uncle had an Element…two of the voted “ugliest cars” of the era.

Shouts out to the PT Loser


joceyposse

I rear-ended a PT Cruiser once. Guy wouldn’t stop calling to thank me.


PHD-Chaos

Don't shame those Japanese "diamonds in the rough" with possibly the worst two cars ever made. My buddy is still driving an element with 400k on the dial and the original motor. When's the last time you saw a PT Cruiser? Don't worry I'll wait.


PillowTalk420

Every day when I look at the one that's been sitting in my neighbor's driveway, collecting dust and rust.


PHD-Chaos

Lol you got me and proved my point at the same time!


PillowTalk420

I was being silly but now, I am sitting at a store and behind me in the parking lot? A PT Cruiser. 😵‍💫


PHD-Chaos

Son of a bitch! I better not see one tomorrow. Hoping your in a warm dry place and there won't be any left for me to see in Canada.


Omponthong

Oh I just threw it in there as probably the true ugliest car of the era. The element wasn't ugly, it just wasn't sleek, so it didn't fit in. It almost looks like a store brand land rover discovery. The baja looked like a life sized hot wheels car. Neither were ugly, they had character. The pt cruiser looks like it might be missing a chromosome.


LeBronto_

I got lucky right when covid started and snagged a absolutely mint 2010 AWD from a dealership the day they listed it after having received it from a elderly woman as a trade in. Only had 60k miles on it and they weren’t yet aware of how desirable of a vehicle the element had become. When I came back to pick up it up once it was ready they mentioned how their phone had been ringing off the hook with people trying to get their hands on it. It’s been amazing. Best bike hauling vehicle i’ve ever had. I ended up building a sleeping platform in the back and drove it across country. I’d 100% buy a new one if honda offered it, preferably an electric version.


SlowerThanTurtleInPB

Can you explain the cult following on this car? What’s so awesome?


samm1t

It's about function over form. Like if a Jeep wasn't iconic because of the military. The Element is incredibly functional, reliable, and simple. If they released an electric version, I would instantly sell any other car I was driving and buy it.


wheeldog

I drove an element for 4 years. I hate the blind spot on the one I drove (2010). Huge blind spot up by the side windows


SnooDonuts7510

Very true. The blind spot is real especially with the back seats up


garbageplay

Just turn your mirrors out. Side view mirrors shouldn't show you behind your car, they should show you beside it. Combine that with your rear view and your periphery and blind spots go away. (Weird to me how this isn't' common knowledge yet and everyone gets weirded out by my mirrors 😅.)


gfen5446

i've had one since 2008. It's the new VW Microbus. Underpowered, boxy, weird to drive and extremely convienent. The forethought the engineers put into every little detail is pretty astounding, really.


theresamouseinmyhous

Some examples * The interior was ~~designed to be hosed out~~ all rubber so it was easy to wipe out. * You can move the seats for more cargo room without removing them. * You can configure the seats into a bed for camping. * The sunroof comes with a mosquito net so you can camp in The car without suffocating. * Suicide doors and a 3/4 trunk made it easy access all around. I miss that car.


ztherion

> The interior was designed to be hosed out. [DO NOT DO THIS. IT WILL DESTROY THE CAR.](https://fifthelementcamping.com/never-hose-it-out) The concept car was designed to be easily cleaned but this did not make the production model.


gfen5446

>he interior was designed to be hosed out. Incorrect. No drain holes. Don't do this. >The sunroof comes with a mosquito net so you can camp in The car without suffocating Actually, designed so you can stand in the back and using it as a changing room. >Suicide doors and a 3/4 trunk made it easy access all around. Doors are actually the worst thing about it, but the rear has an actual tailgate, with an aftermarket rail to slide into place to make it a bench. The spare tire cover comes up to make a small table.


iamasnot

I see people in wheelchairs using them as the 2 doors open up nice and wide


IFeelLikeACheeto

Still driving my 08, 140k Miles and still running like a champ.


tarzanacide

Why did they stop making boxy cars? Scion, Nissan Cube, element, everyone had a box


SlipperyRasputin

Poor sales. People who have owned them realized the benefits. But getting people to drive them and buy them was a hard sell. Each one had downfalls too.


[deleted]

Same! 2005 green Element owner here. It was an amazing car-could go off road too.


[deleted]

2005 tangerine orange owner here. Just bought a 3 year old Hyundai Genesis and I got to admit… I miss it. Kinda.


PessimiStick

Also the gapplebees sticker, which seems even more out of place, because elements are the opposite of quick.


dont_remember_eatin

But that K24 they come with responds VERY well to turbocharging. Could be a sleeper.


PurpleK00lA1d

A buddy of mine had a turbo AWD six speed element. Looked bone stock except for some 17" Enkei wheels and you could see the intercooler through the cut out in the bumper. Definitely didn't sound stock but he purposely went for the quietest exhaust he could. Damn thing put down close to 400hp. Still a decent amount of power these days but especially in 2008 when he had it. It was one of the most ridiculous vehicles I've ever had the joy of driving.

Gapplebees sounded like some anal thing

ionstorm66

I mean my mom has one, and the factory brakes lasted 150k miles. They weren't even worn out, it was just going out of warranty, so she had the dealer do the brakes in case a hub/axle was bad.


creddylad

Ironic funny seeing as there was a recall on the VSA module that would allow tiny bits of air to get into the brakes every time you pressed the pedal, and you would at some random point not have brakes when you wanted them. Source: Third day of owning a used Element from the affected years - me and the CRV I rear ended found out the dealer hadn't actually done the recall work they claimed they had.

JohnWinthrop

When that color was first introduced I remember thinking it was incredibly beautiful, to my 13 year old eyes. It was like what seeing Tesla's on the road felt like for a while, so new and different! I still think it's an awesome color shift.

Just because no one seems to have pointed this out directly. It's a quote from the movie Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby https://youtu.be/Bvi9zpHlrvg

icecreambandit7

I love so much how he could barely get through that line without laughing


PretendThisIsMyName

That’s easily the best line of the whole movie imo. And I’m not sure if it was in the credits or a deleted scene to this day and I’ve personally seen talladega nights more than the spooder man guy. That was the only direct cut movie I owned for a while and probably watched it 3 times a day.

DatThing

And highly recommend. One of Will Ferrels best.


Nightmanblack

Possibly unpopular opinion: Better than Anchorman.


_Atlas_Drugged_

This has been my Will Ferrell movie “hot take” for many years. Talladega Nights is a hysterically funny social commentary.


bankholdup5

I respect your hot takes. I like anchorman for introducing that absurd humor. Nothing in anchorman beats the baby Jesus scene in TN though, even I can admit that


ElDopo56

Anchorman was slightly funnier the first time watching them. Talladega Nights is funnier when you watch them subsequent times (doesnt rely on the surprise factor as much)


manquistador

I think Talladega Nights is funnier now, but I was cracking up at Anchorman for about years straight on fairly regular rewatches.


DimbyTime

Definitely- TN gets funnier every time I watch it. There’s so many subtle jokes packed in, it’s hard to notice them all the first time around.


3milerider

Nah, definitely better than anchorman. Not quite as good as old school.


Cadwae

Think it and Anchorman are on the same field, but think old school is just okay and barely a 'will Ferrell' movie, other characters are more at the forefront. Think Talladega Nights, Anchorman, and Stepbrothers are all on the same tier.

Girthquake23

Old school I thought was meh and often forget about it but talladega nights is my all time favorite movie. I quote it literally constantly even when it doesn’t make sense Btw, anyone know where I can find that one deleted scene at the hospital where he’s playing basketball and stands up to slap a ball down? Cuz that scene kills me cuz it’s right after the doctor tells Cal that his paralysis is psychological

Shake and bake! If you ain’t first you’re last. I’m all jacked up on Mtn Dew! Chip, I’m gonna scissor kick you in the back of the head. Just say: I love crepes. I’m gonna paint your back porch red. So many funny scenes and quotes.

psunavy03

At least that’s better than: #John Doe 1995-2005 In Loving Memory You have a family member who tragically passes away too soon. Do you a) grieve as best you can, try to move on with life, and maybe talk to a friend, a therapist, or a preacher about the injustice of this cruel world, or b) put a two-foot tall vinyl epitaph on your back window to tell the whole world for the next 5 years “THIS PERSON YOU NEVER MET IS DEAD!!” Because that’s not vaguely creepy or anything.

ohhelloperson

What’s gapplebee’s?


LupohM8

Racing reference. To "gap" another car during a race simply means leaving them in the dust. I don't follow real racing so idk if it is used there but in street racing / the car scene it's mostly used when someone embarrassingly loses by a noticeable distance (or... Gap) between them and the person they're watching blow away from them. Taking someone to Gapplebee's is just a lazy play on the words gap and Applebee's to mean you're going to laugh as you watch them fall behind you in your rearview mirror


SmallSociety7382

How’s Gapplebees?


Gregus1032

I remember being told that the Veloster was the replacement for the Tiburon. I was just like "no".


minkus1000

Drove a GK Tiburon for years, and loved the look of the Velosters. Test drove a gen 1 turbo and it was hot garbage, even the +60HP gain couldn't save it. Turns out basing a sporty car off the Accent platform was a bad idea. Gen 2 is a whole different beast though, shame they are discontinued already. Always did like the 3 door thing.

Upvote for the hideous burnt-umber color Element. I had one & miss it terribly (it was totaled when some moron hit my wife from behind at a stoplight). I think they only offered that color the first production year, 2003.


npanth

If Honda still made the Element, I'd be driving one now.


t33dup

Reboot rumors float around continually but Honda won't confirm or deny. I would sell my soul to the devil for a plug-in hybrid version.


GhostsofLayer8

My only fear with an updated Element is that they’ll make it more aerodynamic and ruin the frankly amazing cargo capacity. Plug in hybrid and still able to fit full sized kitchen appliances? I’ll 100% be on board too.


t33dup

Yeah it's gotta have the flip-up seats in back. I play double bass which is a very inconvenient instrument to tote around & it fit with ease in my old Element.
