Yeah, we let this one slip a little bit. Oh well, only a week late.

I think we should also vote on: CarloSW2's pressure activated grille block ( Spring mounted Grill Block) and holypaulie's video of his Civic's aeromods ( Video: Honda Civic aero mods)

I liked holypaulie's mods best since they attack many drag-producing areas but leave the car looking near stock. The best aero job is the aerocivic, but it is a little extreme.
Kevin.

Agreed, Kevin. But for my decision, extreme is why I like the Aerocivic (and Aptera for that matter).
Here I thought for once I had voted for a sure fire winner, but it appears I've got the anti-Midas' touch when it comes to these contests.

I want to vote for Wonderboy's grill block - I nominated it, and he copied my design. It's a small thing, though, compared to some of these others.
I want to vote for Aerocivic - it's such a great overall vehicle. The change this time is minor, though. A year ago it would have been the hands-down winner.
I voted for Paulie's video. Great mods to a nearly stock-looking car.

I didn't vote for the mod as much as the overall vehicle.
I guess I should stop stumping for the Aerocivic - I'm dooming it to failure here.

Congrats to Rick (Coyote X), whose plug-in Metro hybrid project took the win!
And it's on AutoblogGreen today, too: Geo Metro hybrid? It's already on the road [VIDEO]
MetroMPG's vote-o-matic KISS OF DEATH (TM) sinks another one! (Sorry, basjoos.)
