Element SC 2007 Pictures and Specs
I got my car back the day before yesterday and I finally got around to taking some pictures of it this morning. I really love my new car. It is awesome! The color is called "Root Beer Metallic" and all of the trim inside is copper. I also had a few other things added to it like: the hook-up for my iPod so that I can control it via the steering wheel controls, I added the window visors (some thing you need if you are a smoker and it is raining), I added the dividers for the center console, a cargo net and a few other things.
What is really great are the things that come standard on the Element SC. I can start with the stereo controls on the steering wheel, 3 free month of XM radio, carpeted floors - instead of the plastic floors, 18" rims, digital milage and repair information, it has a center console with 2 AUX and Power outlets in the console as well as one power jack on the front dash and several other things you can see on the Honda site. This is my exact Car with all of it's features.
I am so happy that my husband loves me so much that he let me get a new car before he was able to get the Acura that he wants and has been wanting since before he go his Accord. He is so sweet.
One thing about this is that even though I now have a 2007 compared to a 2004 we are paying less on the new car then we would be if we kept paying for the 2004 and I am getting all of these great features.

This new car is actually making me want to get out and drive. The weekend after I got my 2004 Jemal and I took a trip to Ocean City. I don't think we will be doing that but i certainly would love to go out for a drive with Jemal this weekend.
I think I may actually use this car to get over my fear of driving. I want to drive it. I would be out driving right now if Jared wasn't home from school today. I think though that I am going to need Jemal to drive with me for the first few long trips but I wan to be able to drive myself to the doctor's offices myself after that.
Columbia (where most of m doctors are) isn't really that far away and I have a nice GPS system that Jemal bought me for our anniversary (I know it doesn't sound like a romantic gift but it was probably the bet gift he ever gave me, for the time). With the GPS I feel comfortable about driving away from home because I will always be able to find my way back home.
I am going to try to get out this weekend while Jemal is here to watch the kids while I take my car out for a drive. I know that I won't be able to drive very far on my first trip but I am going to do some shopping this weekend and I am going to go alone and try to drive for a least 1/2 an hour or so alone. i might try to drive about 20 miles away. I can got to the Mall in Columbia or just to the Arundel Mills Mall and do some shopping while I am out.
I have some projects in mind that I want to work on. I have some ideas for some Christmas and Birthday gifts for people. I know it is a bit early but these projects as going to take some time to make and I have to make about 20 of them.
