I believe what people need to do is argue that EOC is dangerous in their situation because ...


I find myself Eocing and automatic for distances up to 3/4 of a mile, its what my commute allows, I usually am never on the brake until the last 500 feet or so, my biggest heart skip is starting the engine while the car is still rolling, that creeps me out.

Now as far as the rear end scenario, I guess I grew up differently, that means the driver behind you is at fault and I automatically see body mods and vehicle improvement when something like that occurs.

So with enough of us on here now it would be an interesting statistic to chart.... Accidents CAUSED by Ecomodding, my guess is it will be a short list ...
