You know your an ecomodder if..

You read through six pages to see if you are.

the first thing you do in the morning is check your posts or see if something new has been designed.

you like your 91 Metro over your wifes 07 Civic Si.

you learn how to use photoshop just to make aeromods.

you search cars in parking lots for low cd shapes.

you like the idea of your engine stalling.

When you coast up to a red light (timing it perfectly) but when it turns green the stopped person in front of you refuses to go instantly leaving you really angry.

When you get excited about caravans on the highway.

When you don't like other people driving your vehicle mainly because they end up messing up your best tank ever (one on which you think you can hit your goal of 30 MPG) in a 20 mile trip.

...you're kneeling in front of your car in the driveway making a grille block when you overhear your two sons comparing the aerodynamic qualities of their matchbox cars.
