You don't even have any images of your car before its been modified...

You know you're an ecomodder if your all-time worst fill-up was 24.9% over EPA combined.... 15 months before you found ecomodder.com.

lotus esprit mirror got me!

Lotus Esprit all but ready to go, but held back by management issues
Yes, the car is at least somewhat interesting, but if one HAS to have an exterior
mirror, this one captivates the ecomodder in me!!!

...while reminiscing about cars you've previously owned, you wish you could get Doc Brown to take you for a spin in the Delorean so you could go back and give yourself a Gibbs-style dope slap. And all the information on ecomodder.com.

Saw a gen 1. Honda Insight the other day.
Was jealous for just a split second before I realized I was getting better fuel economy than he was.
