I saw this and I hope it's not a repost.:p

This nerd will have his revenge at the fuel pump:D

A few ecomodders have ended up being the laugh of the day on some sites.
The fun usually ends when they're faced with the MPG numbers of the people they take a laugh at.

To their credit, they actually did acknowledge that:

I honestly don't mind about the laughs.

But I also don't think they should have featured my cardboard-over-aluminum-tube monstrosity.

AeroCivic should always be the poster child. :)

Basjoos car made it into top gear Magazine under the same premise.
Posted that up a while back, will have to look for the link.

Here it is.

I think the list is good-natured fun. And I love how often they felt the need to acknowledge the obvious know-how these projects often display. I laughed out loud at the "rolling surveillance device" and the "self-electrocution" module. I think you got a lot of respect, Darrin!

I saw that when it was posted too. What I found most interesting is that they didn't do a complete bashing, but that they admitted that we're car people too in our own..."special" way.

Or, at least THEY think we're "special" as in the following:

Like I always say :
"Be nice to the nerds at school, he'll wind up being your boss one day ! "

Darin, I raise my pocket protector to you !

Because black cars are always cool:cool:.
