Spent about 8 hours in the new to me van today

[Further]

It has the most comfortable drivers seat I've ever sat in, start to get a bit stiff or sore, just fiddle with the 8 ways to Sunday power controls till it feels better. 

The instant gas mileage readout is addicting, tromp on it and watch it drop to 8, back off just as you top a hill and start down the other side, I got it to touch 98 MPG ! Average since I bought it is 22 MPG. Which I feel is pretty good for an AWD storage shed with comfortable seats.

Sum bitch is a lot faster than you would expect.

Wife says she misses the Element, but she does a lot less moaning over bumps in this.

All in all I'm glad I bought it.

I feel the same way about the 300.  I miss the truck, but I seriously like the 300

 

Oh and congrats on the new shaggin wagon.  Have you put shag carpet and a bed in the back yet?

Eventually there will be vinyl floor & some kind of bunk.

Maybe a disco ball & mirrored ceiling for old times sake...

I miss my Element but I'm getting used to the Pirate. I have it all turned into a man car now. All six rear seats are folded down and a collection of bike stuff and kayak paddles and fishing poles and PFDs hides them.

The can of bait lost in the mix definitely makes it a mans car.....

I have a Minnie bucket in there right now. I have night crawlers in the beer fridge I think I'll use tomorrow. The two bait shops on the way to the lake are not open in the morning anymore.

Totally corporate looking from the outside.

Stealth is where it's at.

Maybe an "I support the police" sticker on the back.
