Thumbs up Hello Ecomodder.com---GIMME BACK MY FREE TIME!
Found this forum while car shopping and I was fascinated by the projects on this site. Now I'm spending HOURS perusing the place.

Bought a 2009 Yaris, and the 1st tank in my new car (35MPG) blew me away. I used to drive an '03 Ranger that got around 16. Now I have been bitten by the MPG bug.

This summer I want to take a stab at fiberglass and make rear wheel skirts, but that won't be until June at the very earliest.

In the mean time, I'll spend my free time here, browsing everything you all post.

Thanks everyone.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome! I will definitely start a thread when I have the time to begin modding. I'm eagerly looking forward to summer break.
As for the ScanGauge, that's probably waiting until I have a bit more cashola. I am a broke-assed college student for now.
