YKYAEM ... when the first thought that pops into your mind is that Darin doesn't want what's in the box, he just wants the box for another prototype.

You Know You're An EcoModder when ... well, maybe this is more of a story.
I was with my roommate as she was leaving the gas station (who won't drive smarter or use any ecomods she acknowledges work), and I mistook her mileage for her battery voltage. I asked when she added voltage to her SCii, and she couldn't figure it out- shortly after I realized when it hit 15 it isn't the voltage lol

YKYAEM when...
... You keep asking "What else can I insulate under the hood?"

When you judge the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade floats on the basis of their apparent aerodynamics. The Ronald McDonald car = pretty good. Planter's Mr. Peanut van = not so much.

YKYAEMI....
going 45 mph sounds like a great idea because it is the slowest speed your slushbox will stay in overdrive for.

Yakky aim (YKYAEM):
When you're sad to see gas prices go down
(less opportunities to brag, less motivation, less understanding from spouse).
