About Us: Welcome to Toaster Stuff Where the boxy is beautiful and the weird is wonderful.Let’s get something out of the way: when the Honda Element first rolled onto the scene in the early 2000s, I thought it was the ugliest thing I’d ever seen on four wheels. And I say that as someone who’s seen an AMC Pacer up close. (Sorry, not sorry, Pacer fans — I know you’re out there. I just… don’t understand you.)I’ve been wrenching on Hondas for longer than I care to admit — starting with small engines like lawnmowers and string trimmers. (Yes, I’m that kid who disassembled the family mower for fun.) And yes, Honda actually made a riding lawnmower once. And yes, it could pop a wheelie — because of course it could. It’s Honda. They can make a blender that laps a Ferrari if they want to.From there, I moved on to motorcycles, ATVs, and eventually cars — naturally sticking with Honda, because they build machines that make sense (except the Ridgeline bed trunk — what is that?). But when the Element came out, I was not on board. It looked like a toaster. A big, plastic-clad, 4-wheeled toaster.Then Everything ChangedFast forward a few years. My uncle wanted to build a microcamper and asked me to help him find a good donor vehicle. He was oddly fixated on the Honda Element. I didn’t get it, but hey — family is family. So I did the research, test drove a bunch of them… and somewhere along the way, I drank the Kool-Aid.At the same time, I was staring down a double knee replacement and driving a manual Accord that required more clutch work than my legs could handle. That boxy Element, with its wide doors, upright seating, and surprisingly smooth ride? It felt like a recovery room on wheels.I traded in my Accord (and a bit of cash) for my first Element. Three weeks later, I owned three.Yes. Three.If you know, you know.Now? Let’s just say the number has increased. Some say owning an Element is like joining a cult. But if loving a big plastic box that can haul lumber, dogs, and dreams is wrong… I don’t want to be right.What is Toaster Stuff?Toaster Stuff was born from my obsession (fine — passion) for the Honda Element, and my growing realization that there just weren’t enough good parts, accessories, or resources out there for fellow toasterheads.From custom mods and mechanical guides to Element-specific parts and accessories, we aim to keep these beloved boxes on the road — and looking sharp while doing it.Right now, my main ride is a 2006 with an Ursa Minor E-Camper, and it’s getting some serious love: a 6-speed swap, a TSX-series engine, and probably more weird stuff I haven’t told my wife about yet.If you’re into Elements, microcamping, wrenching, or just like the idea of living in a van-shaped box, you’re in the right place.Have Ideas?Got a killer mod or part idea?
