Hardcore and correct. Most people just assume that cars that are pointy at the front are "aerodynamic" and that happens to be the biggest myth out there. Pointy at the back is actually far better than at the front. Obviously at both ends is better yet but likely not possible.

I'm surprised anyone on that forum has time to post due to all of them being on the freeway hypermiling at 40mph.
I lol'd at some of the "109 tips."
1) Drive Less.
59) Push it.

While most of what is on that board is quite extreme and makes me 
We should remember that there was a time when people questioned and made fun of those modifying their civics back in the 80's and early 90's. This still happens even to this day.
While ecomodders are on the opposite spectrum of what we all enjoy about cars (speed, looks, etc.), we shoudn't fault them for wanting to push their cars to the limits for improving mileage, helping the environment, and saving money. That's their prerogative just as much as it ours that we want fast cars that can turn on a dime.

Nothing screams, "Hey i'm fucking weird and have nothing else to do with my life" than trying to figure out how to get 1-4 more mpgs by adding stupid shit to your car.

While your knocking them, they're probably knocking you. Round and round we go. At least they are making functional mods, unlike the whole stance movement which makes cars perform worse.

I'd really like to see this in a wind tunnel against its stock counterpart. Most homemade aerodynamic "aids" do more harm than good.
