I have enjoyed being part of the Ecomodder community and have learned a great deal. Keep up the good work. I am looking forward to many more decades of innovation.
Seconded.

Ten years ago the second generation Prius was still relatively fresh and the jellybean shape was absolutely like nothing else and it and the tiny Insight were the only hybrids going. Now you're seeing more than mere lip service to aerodynamics even in full size trucks (hello active shutters, F-150) and hybrid models of even the bread and butter midsize sedans (Camry, Fusion, Accord).
