Well guys I have a once in a lifetime opportunity here ..

As some of you may have seen, aside from my Vibe (Everyday Driver) I also have A Scion xB and a 4 runner to pull it. The xB has been ranked 3rd in the country as most customized by Scion. I also work very closely with South East Toyota for all things Scion. That being said, I have recently been talking up a storm with my buddies at Toyota to see if we can't start producing MPG friendly aftermarket parts for the current generation Scions in order to improve their efficiency.

Well not only are they interested, but they had me put together an entire proposal outlining what can be manufactured to help MPG's, what models they can impact immeadiately and whether or not this is even a worth while pursuit.

Therefore my proposal is on its way to Japan with a select group of friends and will be presented to the executives there as a new revenue stream for Scion to then be expanded to Toyota. Through our efforts I was able to make them realize that aerodynamic changes to these vehicles can make a difference in increasing MPG's without altering the vehicles drastically. Allowing them to achieve hybrid like numbers in everyday gas burning cars.

I did make various comparisons between Ecomodder.com & Scion in how both are mainly grassroots efforts that will continue to gain strength and how we should be used as a sounding board for future eco friendly real world enhancements to new vehicles.

So who knows with a little luck, we may have been able to make a slightly larger dent in the effort to bring awareness to what should be an obvious movement.

I'll keep you posted...
