I know you said the Element was out...I think something about not available where you are? I am just relating to your comment above. I had a HARD time choosing my Element over getting a truck like I used to have.

Lots of things about the Element image I had a hard time with. I even spent some time thinking of license plate frames I would have to get in order to dispel some stereotypes. But, now that I have it, it is so incredibly handy for everything I want it to do, that I know I am stuck with it. I like it.

May you find both the utility and the image you desire! LOL
