Heh heh good question Pale. Yours.
After of hours of wrestling with my mother's bullsh!t sony DV camera, I finally gave up and borrowed a friend's panasonic. The
SONY camera didn't even work with
SONY vegas. I don't buy anything sony anyway, but this firms my position up to all out boycott. Here's the
link, thousands of dropped frames and all. Thank you sony.
Ecomodders who were mentioned / deserve credit as sources for my presentation:
Ernie Rogers - mentioned your whitepaper
CarloSW2/cfg83 - used your used vs. new car thing as a springboard for mine
dcb - Promoted the Guino
azraelswrd - used your "5 pillars of efficiency"
MetroMPG - Used your block heater info page, and actually gave a link to it
As for the graphs I used, I plucked these from the vine pretty quickly, so I didn't really take too much preference - I was looking for people who had quite a few entries and gave a good cross section of typical cars with really nice mileage, and a couple of "extreme" examples to show off. I do have to say that I do have a crush on Pale's graph. Graphs I used in order of appearance (If you don't recognize your own):
Funny's Rolling Lemon (02 Corolla)
99CamryPilot's Energizer Bunny (99 Camry)
McTimson's Turkel (93 Tercel) - Support local drivers!
PaleMelanesian's PaleCivic (96 Civic)
Big Dave's The Red Baron (00 F-350)
suchy21's The Ranger (93 Ranger)
SVOBoy's VeganPowa! (early 90's frankenstein) - yes, I called you lazy
MetroMPG's Blackfly (98 Metro/Firefly)
There are a few things I thought I should've stressed more, and things I should've stressed less. I'm open to any criticism, but keep in mind I don't often speak publicly, had never done anything like this before, and don't have any plans to do it again (so far). Enjoy - it's a long video, and I understand if it's TL/DW.
