I'm 1000% happy with my car, but just yesterday I was considering to buy also a wreck when going in certain infamous spot...

Too bad they stopped making the element.

all that means is you can't buy a new one anymore.

I bought one that's 7 years old. Its a honda it will run forever.

Just saw Skyfall. I will be buying the Land Rover Defender when it comes to the US. Bullet proof and everything....

I hear you, stickers are cool and everything, but they also bullseye a few grand for someone who is really keen.

Thanks for the feedback so far.. vans are out of the question for me, it has to be a compact.. up in Canada we are paying a lot more for gas than you guys in the US of A.

Agreed they are a dead giveaway. fortunately most people around here don't know what a kite is let alone know what brands there are. I've thought about stripping all the stickers off my box though for that reason.

this is a pretty good rig for kiteboarding .... terrible on gas, doesnt go very fast, gets stuck easy, ...... but it is full of some awesome gear.

I have a Honda Odyssey 2012 and I really like it. Plenty of space, comfortable, economic on the fuel too. I can carry all my equipments for my wife and I plus our little girl. Surf and race board fit well too.

I looked at Odyssey's a lot too. Got scared by the glass transmission. Seems like a nice setup though.

I tow a Yamaha Waverunner with my Element sometimes too

I have a Sienna, and thats an awesome kitecar and I sleep in it if I need to, my regular kitecar is a civic with 305,000km on it.. I figure it should run another 200,000k easily.. just drinks a lot of oil.. looking for something newer and suitable for kitesurfing.

I just got back from Portugal and I shared Vic's kitemobile, here it is, this is a Mercedes Diesel, it is ancient, so ancient it doesn't even have seatbelts.

(By the way Vic rents boards, his number is right on the van, helps with the airport kitebag overhead..)
