Pat Rock on May 30th, 2006The Honda Element is the Light Truck of the Year
Recently my 1996 Oldsmobile threw a shoe and went down for the count. Since I had only paid $1000 for it, and then driven it for 2 years I figured it was ok to go ahead and buy a new car. Julia found a Honda Element for sale by private owner at the [...]
Pat Rock on May 29th, 2006Monday Jam — Iron Maiden
