WTF is an Ecomodder?
I've never done a poll but I wanted to see how it's done.
The question is plucked at random from the Zeitgeist. Seriously.

I don't see a poll.
I'm embarrassed to say how long into the internet age it took me to realize WTF wasn't just a silly way to say FTW (For The Win). It was probably 2005 or thereabouts.

Yep, now I see it.
Woo, I'm with the 100% majority so far! Consensus is everything! All those voting against the consensus shall be cast out into the darkness; shunned by all. The Science has spoken.
... I was tempted to start a poll with various answers listed, but the correct answer being "underwater basket weaving".

You can make these things time out. I didn't exercise that option.
I'll come back and see how it's going, then I will select three options. To see how this works.

What we really need is some sort of Ministry of Truth, to tell us what all the right answers are, and then to violently oppose all the wrong answers. It saves time and effort while creating consensus; all great things! |

I ticked [Other see comment].
Ecomodder gives me a refuge away from actual social media like Facebook and Reddit.

And to talk about "unorthodox" car-related stuff without being looked as if we were a bunch of freaks, isn't it?  |

For me it started out as a way to save money through modification to make a car more fuel efficient. Not modern cars are so efficient from factories that there aren't many modes that make economic sense.
Today it is more a place to talk about efficiency tech than to actually find ways to mod cars.
EDIT: Looking at the poll results people are voting more than once. I guess that makes up for the poor poll choices. Ecomodding is all of the above and more.

I started off wanting a Messerschmittt KR-200; today it's the Arcimoto FUV. Both tandem two-seaters but as alike as night and day.
Edit:
I excercised all the options, except a time limit. You can also see who voted for what.
