You buy shoes that are thinner to give you more control over the throttle.

........if a car passes you in the wet and your first though is "WHOA! That's a HORRIBLE mist trail! Dude, your aero SUCKS!"

YKYAEI you spend several hours studying the Bourke Engine thread only to realise you really don't understand it and if you did then some ninjas from a foreign power would be sent to kill you...

Or maybe thats just me.

You know your are an ecomodder when you have driven 100's of miles for the week and you still spent more money on gas to mow your 4 lawns than you did driving.

OUCH! At that rate I'd be looking into electric mowers! Ben Nelson got one going a while back, if memory serves.

I have a 60" dixon ztr, one of my lawns is about 5 acres the others are about 1 1/2 - 2 acres each. to use an electric would mean a huge number of batteries on the poor thing.
