OMG BYYEEEEEEE MINI
she just called me, the fucking thing stalled as she was pulling into the honda dealership. it knows its fate! good riddance!
O DIP WASSUUPP HELLIMENT!!!
(not a pic of the actual car but you get the idea)
im just so happy to get my gf out of a POS car that would randomly stall on her (i looked it over, no idea what the problem was) that had been nothing but a headache to both of us.
it just started leaking power steering fluid, the ball joints (that were replaced like a year ago) were super sketch and squeaky, the tranny that was replaced 1.5 years ago had started downshifting from 1-\>2 SUPER hard…
we’re both really excited, i just wish i wasnt stricken with the scarlet fever right now ☹

:uhh: what the fuck is excoriating?
could be worse, could be a 2001 Saturn coupe with faggy aftermarket wheels worth more than the actual car. :gotme:
good swipe, JAM.

usually get a tour of the Element factory, but they opted to let that go for a year in favor of a camping gathering, Element folk love camping.

Ecamper!!!
drop me a line if you want to get your Hellement back in shape, there’s a few key items to attend to which are all low $$ and DIY to make sure it lives long and prospers.

brakes and tires… that’s all i’ve done to mine. 70k miles, got it new in '05. going to an Northeast Chapter of the Audi Club of North America Winter driving school the 13th of February. 1.5 mile track on the ice, skid pad, short and long slalom courses. topped out at 80 in the long strait, it was a blast last year, spent the day pulling cars out of the snow.

Idk man, i guess you either love them or hate them. ive always been a function \> form kind of guy
ie: its guaranteed that the elements shifter wont break in half, intermittently not start, ect… jays has had some srs issues with his gto, and although you swear up and down that your TB SS has been in the shop once for a “fog light bulb” i think youre full of shit
