goofy boxes on wheels
 
So first there were

and

Then one of them changed into

In the last 7 days, I've seen one of each of these.

Nissan Cube

Kia Soul (looks even stranger in person than in the pic)

I was at a stoplight a couple of days ago and directly across from me was a Scion with some hippy lookin' dude driving.

On top of the Scion goofy (but kind of charming) little box on wheels was strapped a large ladder and a bale of hay!

Yeah... a bale of hay...

I absolutely burst out laughing! :p

I hate those things with a passion bordering on psychosis.

I saw another one of these milk cartons the other day. The window from the B-pillar back wrapped around the D-pillar into the rear window. But only on one side! The other side had a regular D-pillar and a separate side window.

Ugh.

Yup thats the Cube.

Don't forget the Ford Flex.

I drive an 03 Element and it has been the most versitile vehicle I have ever owned. I also like the box look. Whenever my wife drives is, I make sure to tell her I love her box.

These are what the kids want.

Perhaps, but it clearly doesn't have a built-in spellchecker. :D:p

I had a buddy that had an Element. I'm still not sure on the styling of any of them, but the Element had lots of very, very cool features.

Under the right (or is that wrong) circumstances, I could maybe see having one of those.

Just ribbin' ya man.

Hope everything's OK. Last time I spent any length in the hospital, having a web-enabled phone was a godsend.

Yea the iPhone is great for being stuck here. Heading out in a bit. Wife is stuck here till the end of her pregnancy. Having a few complications, but we are managing.

The original Scion xB was great. Scion screwed up, and they know it, with the redesign.

The Nissan cube is very cool. The Soul is ok, but not as cool.

The Honda Element is an awesome car. The only, and I mean only reason I don't own one is because it only has two rear seat belts. I have three kids and it won't work for us.

<---- loves the boxy goodness.

My box, not a road toaster, more like a loaf of bread. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1247186447.jpg

Egad, my coworker went through that. Kid was born at 29 weeks (I think?). Good luck--our 2nd is due the first week of August and my wife can't wait to push that sucker out. She has been barfing nonstop since week 2.
