Hello from Illinois

Hello everyone,

I just found this site by way of a link from an EV site I frequent. I have always been interested in EV's but I want to see what else is possible for my ICE vehicles also. I can wait to see how I might be able to improve them. Be gentle with me, I have crazy ideas but no "aero" skills to speak of. Just a desire to go farther on less gas. (Or batteries if I ever get the chance to build an EV)

Current vehicles

1995 GMC Safari (The ultimate "aero" brick)

1997 Ford Ranger --- This is going to be my "test platform". I drive it to work everyday (when I'm not laid off) pretty much a set milage (120mi. round trip) and speed (mixed 30-35/55-65).

We'll see you all around.

Thanks for the welcome Daox. Some of the ideas in the 65+ list are on my "to do" list. Some are above my experience level but some are right in my wheelhouse.
