For those of you don’t know it, Meg & I drive a Honda Element. Everywhere we go, random people stop and say things like, “We love your car!”…or “What a cute little car!”. Or even better, “Your car looks like an orange box.”
We appreciate you noticing! We’ve even had a few clients really taken by our car! Jen & her mom (Dorene) couldn’t get enough of it when then visited us here in Pensacola, and Rachel & Stephen (you’ll meet them soon!) were ready to buy one after their session! We love our Element, and we wanted to share a few images with our loyal readers!


All the floor & seat surfaces in Honda Element are a rubbery plastic which allows for quick wipe downs. There are no floors mats in the cargo area…so less trash hangs around! I’ve even heard it said that you can actually hose down the interior of the car!

The car features “suicide doors” which allow for easy entry from either side. There is also a cool side benefit…if both sides are open, you can see all the way through the car!
The back has TONS of leg room too! I am 6′2″, and I can seriously sit comfortably behind the drivers seat when it is pushed all the way back.



I love the retro stylings of the dash & knobs in the car…not you typical interior! One of the coolest features (that we actually discovered after buying it) is the MP3 auxillary jack that is built into the dashboard. This allows you to play your iPod directly through the car’s stereo system without any sort of radio station gizmo.

Another fun component of our Element is the Coconut Bay air fresher made by Yankee Candle. Meg purchased a pack of these in a Cracker Barrel on one of our road trips. Since then, it has become a permanent fixture in our car. I can’t get her to stop buying them!

I hope you’ve enjoyed meeting our Honda Element! See you on the road!

**note by Meg: I wanted to add that Charles asked me the other day if he could make a blog post dedicated to our car… I said “why? Who cares about our car?!” But he thinks it’s cool and it didn’t want to squash his enthusiasm… and before I knew it he was outside taking shots of the car for this post! So, enjoy this one a la Charles - and if you like it, let him know. If you hate it, let me know! *snort* - Meg

Great post but PLEASE don’t try to hose out your interior. You could damage the electronics underneath.
Please DO feel free to visit http://www.elementownersclub.com and tell ‘em “lifeizgood” sent you. It’s free!

LOL! Don’t worry Colin…I had to get the car cleaned out before I could take pictures of it! So no worries about ME hosing it down!
But your note is well taken…thanks for the warning!
And thanks for sharing your Element images! Cool shots of the camping setup!

Glad to help, Charles, and thanks for the compliments. Hope to see you on the EOC website one day. There you will find helpful hints and pics galore of Element owners’ meets, vacations, camping setups, etc. It’s quite a lot of fun!
Take care,
Colin

You guys are just too adorable…I still can’t get over charles and his “cute little gift cards he’s been dying to send out”.
We’re thinking about a new car soon…I’m trying to talk Justin into getting me an Element…rubberized floors are the best invention ever!

My mom calls these cars Flinstone Cars! Like you should see little feet running beneath them!!! Hahahah!

Charles, Charles you are too cute!!! I love the post, are you sure you don’t want to try to sell it to Honda! I’m sure they would love the photography!

Tara, I like the way you think!!! Turning a hobby into a money-making enterprise…brillant!

I love this post - sorry, Meg. I can’t wait to get one — and we are SO getting one.
It will have to be blue, in true Mosley style.
