Car ignition key warning-read if you drive a new one!

Former CR-V turned Element owner here. The E is the best vehicle for german shedders in my opinion.

German Shedders - love it! Looked at the Element, but too small. Dog is 85 pounds, plus jumps, obedience equipment and...oh yeah...my luggage. We tie DH to the top. Gotta love the roof rack!

Huh?

I load my 88 lb gsd, my 75 lb gsd and 70 lb aussie in it (and at one time another 80 lb gsd) and away we go--including hubby in the front and doggie stuff in the back.

Last winter my husband lost his car key on the mountain while snowboarding. I wasn't with him at the time and it was a several hour drive from home during a storm.

I had to use this fancy FedEx same day service which cost a fortune to send him my key. It was also very expensive to replace when we ordered it from the dealership.

Believe me, I feel your pain.

I would have loved the element because gas mileage is so much better - but I'm also carrying lots of dog equipment like cages, jumps & other obedience things. Trust me - my Pilot is loaded to the gills when I pull out of the garage!
