...you pull up to a red light beside a line of cars consisting of a 70's era Corvette, a brand new Lexus, a riced out Civic...and you're checking out how much rust is on the Metro.

If you find yourself eyeballing cars for sale, looking for possible opportunities for someone on Ecomodder to pick up an economical car at a economical price.

Your looking for abandoned car bumpers on the side of the road from accidents so you can cut out and paint to match a partial grill block for your car.

My wife just doesn't get it and won't let me mod unless it looks good.

When you go to Craigslist and just click into the search box, it automatically populates with "Geo Metro".


Seriously.

You might be an ecomodder if when you take a friend on an 800 mile road trip there are 2 conditions 1) you must drive at least the speed limit and 2) you must not discuss fuel economy.
BTW: Squeaked a 58 MPG tank under her nose.
