Or if you wish your house were in a valley, so you could warm up the engine quickly for maximum efficiency.

Me, I'm just happy my driveway slopes gently toward the road.

.....If you draft most of your way to the store behind larger vehicles. Then after coasting into the parking lot, you get out wearing 'Heelys' and coast down all the aisles rather than hoofing it....and you're in your 40s.

(But don't draft behind people in the store, that would be rude.)

.....You can travel upwind using wind power alone....at 64% of windspeed.

(Now imagine if they had featherable props in order to get up to speed all snappy like, then reverse the pitch)

LOL.....and the whirling blades could make good manure spreaders!

.......if you start bidding on a used scanguage on e-Bay and are practically begging the Lord for a bit of luck and some inattentive fellow bidders (only $122 right now) and are getting so giddy with excitement you can't hardly stand it!

This is such a good thread.

I wonder if this is going to be the LONGEST thread in EM history!!

BTW I won the scanguage!!!! 127.50, and I'll have it in less than a week!!! I love ebay!

Saw another one being bid on where the guy mentioned he used the guage to learn to drive economically, and now he doesn't need it anymore :P

Sounded like he may have been an ecomodder!
