Thank you to all for comments/compliments! Very much appreciated, as I get into the eco-modding business for the first time. A very worthwhile pursuit, because I've always thought that having a car is a very large responsibility, and that there's a massive space between the kind of materialism that leads many simply to "use" a car as a mere disposable, and the materialism that means "caring" about the material stuff you have, optimizing it, and making it last... thereby reducing it's negative environmental impact. I suppose we're the "lucky ones" who have the interest, have acquired the skills, and have some time to do this. Are there eco-modding barter schemes? i.e. you mend my wooden cupboard, or bake me a cake, and I'll do something to reduce gas consumption of your car? Are there community schemes for teaching people the techniques of hypermiling? When I know enough about this myself, I think I might start one... :-) I really like this forum, by the way! Glad I joined!
