hey all sadly the (silver clown ) is no more. but this leads to some excitment! i am now forced to start the search for the perfect ecomodder car. it must be used. budget is 6500-8500. and be capable of 45 mpg or more at 65mph highway speeds (my echo was). and have a/c.other than that im open to suggestions.prefer 2002 or newer. as of now the prius is at the top of my list because of the kits that allow the addition of extra battery packs. but almost all of my driving is 45-65 . so dont know how much they would help.any other ideas on what would be the best car to start with? cant buy right now but soon. if it is prius what is best year to buy for modding,including the extra battery pack kits.echo made it to 198800 with only two problems,tranny at 175k and a/c blower fan at 198k,, was a great car!before my house melted it.<a href="http://s1253.photobucket.com/albums/hh582/marvidman/?action=view&current=burnt003.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1253.photobucket.com/albums/hh582/marvidman/burnt003.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
