This project thread is getting linked to by an increasing number of auto forums. Lots of non-EcoModder members are stopping by to see what you're up to.

(Hi, everybody!!)

It's just a matter of time before it appears on Jalopnik, etc.
I think someone beat you to that last one...

BangShift.com 1967 Firebird Convertible Body Onto A Prius Chassis

This is the reply I posted over at PriusChat:

Ya' know, haters are gonna hate. The implied death threat made me bust out laughing. I've fielded the same reactions from co-workers who think attacking the modifications on the Firebrid equates to attacking my virility. I also presume most of them equate their virility with the horsepower of their engines. Truly sad.

Bottom line: It's my car project and I'm having a blast doing it. If I cut it into little cubes or make the world's first resto-eco-mod car is up to nobody else but me. I have no intention of stopping now. Why should I stop what I love doing just because someone else doesn't like it?
