Battling the non-believers
I had a fun afternoon of going back and forth with a handful of guys on a ford ranger board about hypermiling in general and EOCing in particular.
It seems that people in general out there think that engine off coasting a manual transmissioned car is crazy and dangerous. I turned it around on them and said that someone with a 6" lift and mudder tires should probably just STFU when it comes to preaching safety.
Then the pile on of the bigfooters commenced!!!!
Good times.
It is amazing how basic physics seems to be beyond the comprehension of most folks.
Anyone else here been through this when explaining to "normal" people that you are actually looney enough to shut your engine off at 40 mph?
