One of the things I did at home was get a new Honda Element (my family is in the car biz, for the uneducated). The car is nothing short of amazing. The outside look takes some getting used to, but the inside s so functional it wouldn't matter if you thought the thing was the ugliest car ever. Personally, I like the styling at this point. It's very Japan. It is being referred to as "The Box."

My favorite feature is the auxilary audio link. It allows me to plug my iPod into the stereo via a 1/8" plug. The sound is a lot better than using a tape deck converter, especially when I use the line-out from the dock. I also love the way the seats fold up, the amazing turn radius, and the variety of storage options.

So that you can share in my joy, I put together a collection of Element photos for you. It is worth noting that I put this together using a beta version of TypePad and it was incredibly easy to do. In fact, I realized I did more than was needed. I like it.
