Another thing too is that I've started a couple of aeromods before and my wife didn't like what I was doing. She doesn't want to drive around in a vehicle that's got a boat tail or wings on it. Maybe once I get the Prius running I'll start modding it. But then again, we always go out of town on the highway together in the same car. Around town the speed limit is 25mph townwide except the 35mph main highway that runs through it. So any aeromods or wings would be pretty much useless, other than to take once on the highway just to try to prove a point and nothing else.
I don't ecomod, purely because it isn't worth it financially, any "aero" mods mean that I turn into an insurance liability, and given the amount of driving I do it would never be worth it financially. The eco in eco mod could stand for economical modding. Basjoos certainly saved money with the aerocivic.

Just because you don't mod yourself doesn't mean your opinions are worthless.
