Combo #5?
akcapeco,
Hey that would work 
and if you add the "Wrench smart" slogan Tango & Johnny might like it too
It might look something like this (see below)
...and it would look more like a badge than a run of the mill bumper sticker
...and you could ecomod it with just a pair of scissors and get three other formats!
...and (if it matters) you probably could get two stickers to fit in the standard 3"x8" format
all for one low price... it is perfect!
there is only one problem with this combo idea
if selected - SVOboy may make you share you T-shirt with Tango & Johnny
and I don't think you all are going to fit 
but I'm sure we could work out a joint custody thing
-you might get to wear it every third week 
(  okay that got silly)

Seen that phrase somewhere, I like it. That badge idea is pretty cool also.

Here ya go, I doubt you'll use this image, but I had fun making it. Go to Scion Speak and check out their crest generator. You could make some pretty killer crests for yourself otherwise. Their selection is limited, so I used a generic design and filled our logo using publisher.
Have fun ...

I like Tango's idea of the slogan wrapped around the logo. For a wider sticker, it could have the URL to the right in a larger font.
I know that this is outside the scope of the new-sticker discussion, but why is it Wrench Smart - Driver Smarter?

'Adjusting the nut behind the wheel' (a.k.a. learning different driving techniques) generally will net a bigger increase than vehicle modifications. Hence the emphasis on The List of 100+ driving tips.

Honestly, I would rock a sticker just like my signature banner any day of the week. It pretty much says it all ...

The sig does look pretty good...but some of it could be omitted (like they should know that it's an '06 Toyota 4-Runner, or around there, just by looking at the car).
I just think it sounds weird to Wrench SMART but Drive SMARTER--why not Wrench smart - drive smart?

About good sigs, I like Concrete's one :
Start where you are - Use what you have - Do what you can.
Without the ecomodder context, it could be applied to a lot of things, but it can be a good inspiration for something like that :
To save gas : know how you drive, know your car, improve your driving and your car.

how about this? yeah, its rough, but you get the idea. i tried to get the slow moving triangle colors the same as the ecomodder green, but it didn't quite work. and put "ecomodder.com" at the bottom, and change the other text to the ecomodder text.

If I owned a bumper sticker factory, I'd make a several of these entries. And I'm not just being diplomatic - there are some good ones! I hate picking one (or three).
