I overheard someone today say that it was the "nigger hummer" Once again the evil specter of racism raises its ugly head.
EP, is this a true restoration, down to the 14 or so grounds on the electrical system? Edit: Me? I kind of like the Element, in a strictly utilitarian-econobox sort of way.
Yep a ground up resto with lots of upgrades while maintaining the original look as much as possible. Been piddlin on it off and on for 7 years. Maybe will get painted this summer, when I am able
If my company ever decides to get rid of Explorers and use something cheaper and more fuel efficient, I always thought that an Element would make a good news vehicle. No frills, to be sure, but it looks like it would hold a lot of gear and I'd think that no middle roof pillar would make getting stuff out pretty easy.

Sprite and midget are virtually the same car Forbin, Bugeye was just the early version sprite and then the later model sprites and midgets were the same. But the size of the bugeye and the frame and all are the same size as the later models. They are nicknames spridgets.
