I experienced a similar thing just yesterday. Background: much of the traffic we've had at the site recently came about due to basjoos'
Aerocivic - clearly an extreme expression of ecomodding if there ever was one.
Basjoos' thread has been picked up for discussion on a couple dozen car enthusiast forums, and I'd say the majority of them simply chucked insults, made snide remarks about workmanship, argued about aesthetics, dismissed his goals, and failed to see the big picture.
One forum (free, large membership base) stood out: the commenters (Nissan Z enthusiasts) acknowledged that while saving fuel wasn't their thing, they could sure appreciate the thought & effort that basjoos put into his project car and how successful it's been. I thought that was so cool, I registered to tell them! Definitely challenged my preconceptions based on what I'd seen on other speed/performance sites.

Good luck to all of you in eco modding. I hope you do it to the fullest, and experience all the personal satisfaction and gain possible from such a venture.
