Just a suggestion, after your recent road trip experience. What do you think about adding a members only section. Where emergency request for assistance, local resources ( parts new, used, or otherwise could be obtained ) or just moral support. I, myself don't use any the popular social networking sites. But i do try to check in on ecomodder.com, at least twice a week if not more. And most people check their email daily. Might be something to take a full membership poll. Does that sound like everyone could participate in; by establishing rules and protocols. Sort of like ecomdder road side assistance.

Example:

Alert; instant message, tweet, or email to let members online view it

Resources; what members are willing offer in way of assistance

Just by the idea of ecomodding, we aren't the everyday traveling public. Seen your ( stranded post ) and thought i would just put this out there. Since i couldn't be any help personally. Glad to see you made it.
