So this is one of three new "wrecked " cars we received. I was going to start with the durango, but Tim had his eyes on seeing the element run first. So here we go!
My mom had a 2003 Element. It was dead reliable and super practical but it was also underpowered, uncomfortable, and it didn't drive that nice. My brother totaled it though and it did it's job. No one was hurt.
Had the same thing happen to me my dads car i just got my license. he had a 03 gray and black we loved it. Had 190,000 miles on it saved my ass though. Walked out with a concussion
I love them as well, to the point that I was trying so hard to find an Element but they were all so expensive for a decent one. The Honda Element is probably my favorite car ever.
My 2006 CR-V has one it's very reliable but very underpowered, do you guys know were I can find a performance exhaust kit for my CR-V because I can't find one anywhere online.
I'm a service writer at Hendrick Honda in Charlotte. I've probably written that car up before for oil changes and such. Sad to see one of those meet such a untimely death. We get those cars coming in with 200,000 - 300,000 miles all of the time.
right cause u been driving for what 6 months! Believing all the b.s ur ignorant,no-it all-bias,ricer, idiot friends tell u. Ive been driving for 20yrs !!!! j
The DRL light just means the daytime running lights are on. My '07 Subaru Legacy had an indicator like that, also yellow, which made it look like a warning light in that car too.
that's not how hondas works the drl light only comes on when it thinks a lights burnt, normally with hondas the high-beam light will glow very dimly for drl, go away for normal beam then comes on full bright for the full beam lights, i think its a quirk of the drls actually doing double duty as the high beam lights, that's how my 09 civic and my partners 07 element do it
ANTISEEN...GOOD OLE NC MOUNTAIN BOYS,PUNK ROCK !!!!!!JEFF CLAYTON IS THE SHIT,met them boys in Orlando back in 94 ,had a great time,been fans of theirs since the late 80s..
In 2004 had an element big POS would have loved if that happened to it!! Lol. They’re a great idea but the worst mpg it was a stick and it’s aerodynamic challenged.
paul c idk love mine. Bought brand new and has 260,000 on the it and still runs great never had any problems and I have to agree gas mileage sucks but still love it.
Biggest POS? Lol, you are nuts. These cars are highly desired, sought after, and getting harder to find; which explains the high resale value. You probably bought the Honda Element for all the wrong reasons, that is why you did not like it.
I totaled my 2005 Element a couple months ago in an accident I didn’t think all that bad. It was a fuel hog but otherwise I miss it a lot. Must admit that the rear doors were a bit of a pain, if distinctive. No carpeting - no car should have carpeting, though.
It's too hammered to fix, but it's great for someone that needs a good engine, trans and miscellaneous parts. I"ve always wondered, how many cars do you own, and how many are street-legal (plates, insurance, etc)?
The step father of a former friend bought an orange one brand new back in '05. I hated it! I think their ugly, slow, inefficient, unrefined, and horribly uncomfortable (5 minutes in it and my back and ass were sore). His step father drove me home from their house and asked me what I thought of it so being nice I told him I thought it was okay. Of course my former friend had a big mouth and blurts out "He hates it!". I so wanted to kick his ass. The one thing I will say is they had a ridiculous amount of cargo room they're great if you plan on carrying stuff that will get it dirty since you can simply take a hose to the interior. The funny thing was when these came out for the 2003 model year they were marketed towards young, hip, and active people. The majority were purchased by elderly people.
K24 turbo s10 it's a no brainer jk.. too bad it wasn't a 5 speed if they made em standard? A turbo k series s10 with a s2k cluster would be mint tho but not sure about the trans options?
It would cost more to repair than its worth, the air bags would cost a fortune to replace plus the fender door rear quarter and driver door damage. at least it still runs. Part it out.
can i buy it? :) I have a 2003 from. my brother broke a spark plug in it while doing a tune up and opened the cover. the transmission went out when he did that. I bought it used and had only driven it 6 months. where are you guys located?
*if it wasn't for that roof damage that thing could be fixed easy. and it runs really well too that's a shame. those things run for ever too my mom had a 2007 she just traded in that still ran great even with almost 300,000 miles on it*
FIRST! Always wanted to type that. Even though I'm not. FIRST ! Hey this is fun!!!! FIRST! FIRST! FIRST! FIRST! FIRST! FIRST! ....Now I know why people do this. Oh yeah... Good parts car.
The S-10 has that new keyless ignition I've heard so much about...........
lol
Lol
True just saw that and was like whaaa
Unless you turn the key all the way off then its back to key required
Wrong haha

Honda ,the car to get the hell beat out of it and still start after one jump.
Proof GM had ignition switch issues longer then they will admit.
KoreeC Orlando Drivers the ignition issue is easy u can do it with any vehicle
I used to drive an old Ford Econoline that had the same "feature"😛
I had a 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix that started without the Key
Keyless go is a feature on high end cars you had it with gm back in the 90s, ahead of the times
I love the Honda Element, you cant beat the 2.4 I-VTEC for reliability and durability
They use that engine in a lot of different models, my '02 CR-V has it. It's been very reliable. Currently has 130k on it.
I love them as well, to the point that I was trying so hard to find an Element but they were all so expensive for a decent one. The Honda Element is probably my favorite car ever.
Jack Rotter Same here im trying to find a good used Element and the prices are high. They are now more popular as a used car then when they were new.
Donald Thompson exactly! Then there is the fact that nobody wants to give them up!
My 2006 CR-V has one it's very reliable but very underpowered, do you guys know were I can find a performance exhaust kit for my CR-V because I can't find one anywhere online.

Like forest Gump said, "It happens" haha but yes, totally agree, its not the best looking thing but they seem to be reliable
Car looks rebuildable the cage is not damage from what I can tell.
Gotta love that K motor. Drove a friend's 03 Accord with one the other day...320k miles, still ran great.
A Chevy jump starting a Honda, don't see that everyday, lol.
I see it everyday!!!! Cause im jumpn them with my chevy!!!! There jus like any other car man!!!
Usually the opposite lol
right cause u been driving for what 6 months! Believing all the b.s ur ignorant,no-it all-bias,ricer, idiot friends tell u. Ive been driving for 20yrs !!!! j
I've had my element for 15 years, never ran into a breakdown, still purrs at 200k miles.
LOL
I can't believe that old, wrecked and beat up little Chevy pickup truck still shifts better than many newer Ford and Chevy vehicles.
A pretty cool guy owned that, judging by the stickers,lol :P
Looks like the theft deterrent system on the Chevy is a little weak, lol
Stephen Lawrence lmao
yea, but whos going to want to steal a chevy lol
Oooooh roasted
Stephen Lawrence lol...good one
its a honda it still running doesnt surprise me
She'll buff out
Lol😂
Just a couple of new body panels and it's as good as new Lol
The DRL light just means the daytime running lights are on. My '07 Subaru Legacy had an indicator like that, also yellow, which made it look like a warning light in that car too.
Good to know!
that's not how hondas works the drl light only comes on when it thinks a lights burnt, normally with hondas the high-beam light will glow very dimly for drl, go away for normal beam then comes on full bright for the full beam lights, i think its a quirk of the drls actually doing double duty as the high beam lights, that's how my 09 civic and my partners 07 element do it
Dang I just learned something new . Double up jumper cables cool thanks
man id love to have one of those s10 trucks :D
Also good vid!
As a scrapyard runaround yoke it would be good would last ages too
Wow a 2011 that’s the newest car I’ve seen pop up here on TH-cam so far for scrap!
Hondas man. Tough as nails!
Sometimes
Dell0304 lol
Lol fancy seeing you here
+Jay Smart Lol true, them older auto transmissions
Ryan Gehret Im pretty much everywhere lol.
not bad.. runs good moves.. a tiny bit of tlc... lmao
Kevin Witt It's a Honda.
Craigslist be like
ANTISEEN...GOOD OLE NC MOUNTAIN BOYS,PUNK ROCK !!!!!!JEFF CLAYTON IS THE SHIT,met them boys in Orlando back in 94 ,had a great time,been fans of theirs since the late 80s..
Nice start up on the s10
Thanks?

Lots of good parts. The drivetrain would be cool in a Civic or in the back of a pickup truck.
Hondas never die I'll probably only buy Honda and Acura
WOW it even comes with curtains !!!!
Am i the only one that feels sad for that element
Candler Towe no
Candler Towe no you're not
No.
Candler Towe nope
Candler Towe: It's a piece of shit Honda that is ugly as fuck!
Nothing like a little weight reduction
I totaled my 2005 Element a couple months ago in an accident I didn’t think all that bad. It was a fuel hog but otherwise I miss it a lot. Must admit that the rear doors were a bit of a pain, if distinctive. No carpeting - no car should have carpeting, though.
Wow very shackled that it runs
I really like the video my friend.
It's too hammered to fix, but it's great for someone that needs a good engine, trans and miscellaneous parts. I"ve always wondered, how many cars do you own, and how many are street-legal (plates, insurance, etc)?
Amazing it still drives
not sure what I watched but you owe me 8:48 of my life back
that honda prelude in the background😢😢😢
that's a shame :[
Poor Honda.... it came back to life..... RIP
I am old. We double jumpers by putting both on positive and touching the metal/chrome bumpers together
Nice video jay
That was a nice Honda Prelude
That had to hurt.
Lol
Too*
Whenever I see one of these, I think it should be called the Honda Rubbermaid
Its repairable but to someone who wabts to do it best off to part it out the parts that good like engine transe suspension wheel interior piece
I like those Hondas. Thought one is going to need a good buff job to get those scratches out. LOL. 😊🤪
My dad used to have a truck like the one your driving except his had brownish red leather seats and was manual
Badly battered and bruised but runs and drives, engine and trans all good.
Got that expensive engine in it! Good for making some quick cash
Body is totally shagged, looks it has done few rounds with Mike Tyson.

Middle finger at 2:37 was slick
That s10 is beautiful
Good for parts.
The number of the devil was in the milage, that's why it crashed.
A good candidate for turn over sale.
Vtec kicked in on that Honda
Drop the engine in a civic. LOL
RespectFreeSpeech GiveMeMuhFreedom , what does this do? Can you be more specific?
I like elements!
Nice good for project swap most of the part into the honda crx engine trasmission axle. Mittle a'xle acu
That'd be a unique derby car
nice videos by the way
Its a shame that someone wrecked the Element, these cars have an extremely high resale value nowadays.
The s10 has 10/10 protection
Yep
Only needs a passenger side headlight and tail light
Ok thanks man
I like your key
i was gonna mention if you part the astro van why don't you put the 4.3 in your s10?
No, not happening. My later on plan for the truck is a v8 yes. But theres not point wasting time with a 4.3 when my 2.8 runs good
Omg the S10 has push button start!!!
sure haha
Take the powertrain and rescue one of the accords if yall dont keep and fix it..
"When the Vtech kicks in"😂😂
Was this essentially Honda’s PT-Cruiser?
Honda didn't make anything close to that pile of poo
K24 turbo s10 it's a no brainer jk.. too bad it wasn't a 5 speed if they made em standard? A turbo k series s10 with a s2k cluster would be mint tho but not sure about the trans options?
I would so buy that
Nice car
That honda Element sure got a lot of earth knocked into it.
But again. It's a honda. Of course that bitch will still run.
@jay smart can you make a video about the prelude behind the element? I love those cars even tho they have problems
Ill see what I can do !
Umm.. Double cables....not sure if your getting much power. I conclude that it was able to get some charge by waiting...not by double cables.
It would cost more to repair than its worth, the air bags would cost a fortune to replace plus the fender door rear quarter and driver door damage. at least it still runs. Part it out.
Those things are so hard to work on
I never knew that you can start a car with no key. Wow is it broken as to why it dose not need a key
0:15 how did he start the s10 truck with no key?!?
The ignition lock cylinder is worn out.
Magic
Jay Smart the key snapped off in the ignition
Keyless go
5:40 WTF is that spark in the engine compartment?
Turn signal bulb blinking
He wants to transform into autobots.
Flashe
looks like it could be rebuilt if you had another one for parts.
Rest in peace Honda
Duu duu duu duu dutto duuu to doo doo
how much for the front license plate off of the honda? the one that says hendrick
can i buy it? :) I have a 2003 from. my brother broke a spark plug in it while doing a tune up and opened the cover. the transmission went out when he did that. I bought it used and had only driven it 6 months. where are you guys located?
Hi is Nathan here
Hey Nathan
Thats a nice car
Looking at the doors, my bet was it was a roll over.
I noticed the tarheels logo on ur steering wheel cover, do y’all happen to live in North Carolina?
Will it be saved to fix or crushed? It's only 6 years old.
Its just for parts man..
666 in the miles.... Cursed forsure. Crashed at that milage too.
Y’all should get it fixed it be a good car
i wonder if the I-VTEC kicked in too hard
Hahaha i dont know
vtech needs to kick in
*if it wasn't for that roof damage that thing could be fixed easy. and it runs really well too that's a shame. those things run for ever too my mom had a 2007 she just traded in that still ran great even with almost 300,000 miles on it*
Honda K24 motors regularly hit 300k mileage with basic maintenance. Amazing motor/car
To to do to to do he does that so much in this video lol.
Well it's great the element can run but it's parts only it will never will drive the same good motor and transmission is a plus
anyone notice he went for the ignition key when he went to turn it off
Do a video on the Durango
FIRST! Always wanted to type that. Even though I'm not.
FIRST ! Hey this is fun!!!!
FIRST! FIRST! FIRST! FIRST! FIRST! FIRST! ....Now I know why people do this.
Oh yeah... Good parts car.
What's that noise in the background?
Will it get parted or saved?
