Not always - before my hypermiling days I was on a long trip on the freeway with some friends while listening to random CD's from my CD changer when one of them told me:
- You really like Bob Marley, no?
- Yes, why?
- Well it makes you drive at 50 mph... it will take a long time to get there!
Had not noticed I let the speed drop down from 70 mph... while paying attention to traffic no less, but apparently not to speed

YKYAEM, when there is a downpour and to help with FE you WILL draft the semi NOT because of the air but because of the water planning!
When I realized what I was doing, chuckles, chuckles... and rolled my eyes |

YKYAEM when you think about changes to the glide characteristics of your car.
And when you're complaining about too many cylinders when you say:

When you see election signs and wish election was over to recycle the coraplast into a full underbody tray. Who cares who wins they all lie.

when your former aero civc clone (aerotrix) is put back to stock to please the wife to be..... and I still can use the same engine off coast points.
She asks why the bit of a jerk in the car right at a corner and its because I was not very smooth on the bump restart.
spring is here not due to a date but when the snow tires come off.
Stock car can still get 20% over EPA without trying. with nut adjustment its 30%.
you get looks from the wife (to be) when you talk about the idea car.... and inline 4 is over kill.
you know your still a ecomodder at heart when you start telling her about your dream home..... its small and energy neutral at worst.... energy + to charge the dream car too. and she goes, I can see you wanting that.....

Election signs in coroplast should be MANDATED to be cut into larger pieces for "what-ever" their initial use may be...
Then, ONLY then, they really would be useful to our YKYAEM community
Thus making belly pans a dream come true...
