From the looking around I've done on the web, I haven't really found much of anything for ecomod or green cars. I'd like to show off my MGeo at least.

It has got me thinking about putting on a car event that is focused on ecomod or green cars. Something a little different.

What I'm thinking is a green car competition but one where the point is to build the best green car that others would actually want to buy.
In a way, what I'm thinking is to create a venue to show them off to people who might want to buy them, and the competition is essentially a demonstration of what it can do and how it the cars compare.

The automotive X-prize was interesting, but in my view there is so much that is possible already today and not as expensive research cars, but real cars people can buy today. Cars built inexpensively using already existing materials that are recycled...i.e. existing cars modified to be eco-friendly and economical. But something people want, so not beaters.

What do you think?
