A car that is NOT an Element...

[marigoldp.livejournal.com]

  Are there any post-513 fics, or any season really, where Brian buys Justin a car or Justin buys himself a car that is most decidedly NOT a Honda Element?
I've read some wonderful fics over the months that have been realistically written and beautifully in character until... The Car! I can't seem to suspend my disbelief when Brian actually allows himself to be associated with that atrocity of an automobile. The thing truly ought to be scoured from the memories of all design conscious people, it's painful to even think about... I'm pretty sure it never even got sold in Europe. I can't see Brian Kinney having anything to do with it.
I understand that in many fics, that has been the point of it... Brian loves Sunshine sooooo much, he'll go against his aesthetic principles, but are there any where he doesn't?
This proliferation of "Element-fics" stops me from fully enjoying what is always an otherwise very entertaining and relaxing Wish Fulfillment fic, where everything is happy and they're together, etc., etc.

P.S. This in no way is meant as an insult to some of my very favourite happy fics out there, i.e. The End Done Right by Vamphile or Wren's Experiment, etc.

EDIT/UPDATE: Wow! There were some very strong reactions to this post, quite a few people agreeing very strongly. Couple of suggested links inside for beautiful car lovers... any more anyone?

Oh man. I've probably read them and was able to accept it because I had no clue what the car looked like. Now what? lol
