I just got a phone call that really cheered me up. After two months of waiting, I think I may be going to pick up my new Honda Element tomorrow.
I think it's adorable, like the bastard child of a Hummer and a Mini Cooper.
It gets about the same mileage as my current ride, and it has a most excellent safety rating. And it's just really fucking different and groovy.
And now I can finally file my request for my plates!
DOGSTAR is still the first choice, then NEOGIRL or KRIX as alternates.
Cross your fingers that everything goes smoothly at the dealership tomorrow.
Then all I'll need is an excuse for a road trip.

Posted by: LillyAnne on March 21, 2003 02:51 PMWhat happened to "It wahs"? That was my vote.
If a dog morphed into a car, this one would be a Rottweiler. If you can see that too, then Dogstar plate would be very appropriate. Could be the colors, or the fact that I haven't eaten today.
Very cool. I like it. (in case you weren't sure)
Posted by: Chianti on March 21, 2003 03:45 PMCongrats, again! It's a very cool, outdoorsy looking car. Your getting a new car definitely tops my shrink telling me, "... you look normal today". Yeah. Look.
Posted by: scott on March 21, 2003 04:32 PM"IT WAHS" is choice # 4.
Yes!
I can go camping, biking, surfing with it.
It's the Tampax® of cars.
Good Luck Krix! I'm crossing my fingers for ya! :) I had a Honda for ten years! Great little car! Fun, fun, fun!!!
Posted by: Natasha on March 21, 2003 05:02 PMMarketing appeal for women 18-45: "It's the Tampax® of cars." You missed your calling, Krix!
I saw one on the road last week. Extremely cool. I demand you drive it to the bay area for a visit!
Posted by: jadedju on March 21, 2003 07:54 PMI'm totally up for a west coast tour. I just need sponsorship.
Posted by: krix on March 21, 2003 08:04 PMcongrats! you should make an east coast trip since i don't think they're even selling those here.
ps -- i did get the cd, but i didn't say anything because i wanted to send you an extra huge thanks :) an email just didn't seem worthy.
Posted by: laura on March 22, 2003 07:35 AMBut if you really want to try it out, drive it up to Canada and have a go at some back roads in the mountains :)
Posted by: Kelly on March 22, 2003 09:41 AMdude, you got your car while i was in anaheim and you didn't come see me? what's up with that? i would have SO loved to ride through west hollywood in that orange tampax rottweiler! :)
Posted by: Lori on March 27, 2003 09:01 AMhaha, no doubt.
Next time you're on this side of the country we'll do that.
