Your an ecommoder if...

being an ecommder is costing you more than being a crack head or having a porn addiction.

Is there an Ecommoders Anonymous? Or is this it?

Speaking of leaving spots;
You know you're an ecomodder when you drive through a farmers irrigation sprinkler on the way home from work and you think, "Oh, good. Now I can check the airflow pattern around my A-pillars when that dries."

or when you sell stuff on eBay specifically to fund a Scan Gauge purchase.

(I should have it by the end of the week! I can't wait! This is worse than being an 8 year old at Christmas!)

You know you're an EcoModder if... when faced with a photo gallery of a new concept car, the first pic you click on is of the BACK view of the vehicle.

You don't think of distance as miles, but rather, a certain number of "pulses".

Or you look at the front of each new car and say to yourself, "egad, what a GIANT grille opening" and begin thinking of homemade blockers.

when the truck in front of you at the gas station is pumping gas when you pull in, and still pumping after you washed your windshield and on your way....after pumping a few gallons into your own car.

A possible sign of you know your an ecomodder:
the car you drive is extinct.
