What did I use my Honda Element for?
I used this thing to haul everything, including piles of cut trees and branches, 8-foot dimensional lumber, sheetrock, furniture, appliances, etc., and could always close and latch the rear door regardless of the bulk.

Why is the Honda Element a cult classic?
In a broad stroke of irony, the Honda Element has recently become something of a cult classic. It was a little too far ahead of its time in 2003, but now its fans have caught up.
