It's hard to spell squeegee...

You might be an ecomodder if... (what I do) ...you have a squeegee like this one in you car to get off all the rain water before you go driving, b/c it weighs your car down

You know you are an ecomodder when you start thinking of the aerodynamics of your food.

Good one!

Because I ride bikes and I'm sensative to such demorilazation while in my metro....I tend to let the metro's pass me on purpose, ...when I'm on my bike.
I do have to slow down...sometimes.

While on the bike, beating the monster trucks off the line and through the intersection at a light is fun though.

...you need to move an empty 18 cube feet rooftop box 150 miles and you remove the back seats so you can fit the box inside the car.

You call in to a radio talk show to comment on your solar-powered electric lawn mower, and get a PM thru Ecomodder because other Ecomodders are listening and know who you are!!!!
