Well's it's finally come time, somewhat sadly, to replace the 1992 Accord with 190,000 miles.  Picking it up on Friday and breaking it in by taking it to a tri two hours away on Sunday.  So now I finally have a Tri-mobile.  Bike fits inside, what more can you want. . My wife says it's ugly, I tell her it's ugly like a bulldog.

At least your wife won't borrow it then! And certainly not when the new smell turns into the locker room smell! enjoy

My son likes those. Can you fit a bike inside without dismantling it? What kind of gas mileage?

Cool box, where's the car that comes in it?

I'm kidding, the boxy little SUV's have an incredible ammount of room in them.

We just got an Element. My wife was of the "its ugly" school too. Then she figures out that you can't see it while you're driving it. She came around.

I'm stoked that I can change clothes in the car after a race. (how big of a tri-geek does that make me)

My bike fit inside (I actually brought my bike to the dealer when I test drove it). The bike actually fits between the front and rear seats, and I cal also fold the back seats down and slide it in from the back.  Supposed milage is 30 in the city and 34 on the highway.

I'm going to park it as far away from everybody as I can .  Heck we can use the walk as a warm up.  And as an added bonus, I'll probably have no problem finding it after the race.  I'm sure there won't be to many others there.  See you Sunday

Man... And here I thought you went to Concepts and got those 404s!

Nice ride, Chris. You're going to love the functionality.

My wife and I were considering an element went we had to replace our old Subaru but we liked the Outback so much we got a new one. And, it's easier for me to get the kayak on top of than a truck or Scion would be.

Looking forward to looking at it all the way to MA on Sun!
