Any random comments you've gotten about your car's ecomods?
I'm not sure if it's the Kammback or the front wheel skirt, but a lot more people have been craning their necks or stopping in their tracks (pedestrians) to get a glimpse of the weird black car since those two mods. I've seen more than a couple big smiles and outright laughter from passengers in passing cars .
More comments from people than there used to be too, so I decided to start a list of things people have said. Previous comments, noted in this thread:

Not many people said anything about my Celebrity for a long time except a few coworkers who knew I had been working on it. But the day I added the wheel covers, it was like I turned on a switch saying "look at me". Half the people at work, people at gas stations, parking lots, everyone seemed to notice. I tell them it all adds up for fuel savings.

Whenever people ride in my car, I _always_ get questions about the scangauge. Some people try to touch it and figure it out, others just ask what it is.
I tell them it's the car geek equivalent of an iPhone. It's the OBD-II device to end all OBD-II devices, just like the iPhone is the phone to end all phones. |
I had complete strangers comment "Is that the car that had the skirts?" A YEAR AFTER I TOOK THE SKIRTS OFF!

Found this on the windshield this morning. Funny, but not overly original (had a passerby call it the Batmobile already). Hmm... maybe it was the same person...

I get most of my comments due to the "57 MPG" sticker on the back and the airtabs. I thought of removing the airtabs, but not yet sure. When I had it plugged in at work, a few people asked about the "Electric car" out back.

I wish I had you guys carefree attitude. I hate being laughed at. ( which happens almost every day in my case.)

I love that "batmobile Junior" comment :thumbup:
Cd, when I see people smiling while seeing my car, I interpret it as their consent they ignore what it's about :p Even in Citroen's country, aerodynamic is a secret... and prius & insight looks aren't appreciated. I'm thinking about drawing a big "4 L/100" on the skirts. Denis. |
I was mocking up a wingtail today, and my wife said: "I'm not riding in that thing, its embarrassing!"
sigh |
Batmobile Junior, I like that!
