Ecomodder forum user basjoos decided to do something because of the gas price runup in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. He decided to improve his 92 Civic CX car's gas mileage ... by "aero modding" it!
Basjoos wrote that he spent "Probably about 250 hours and a materials cost of about $400 spread out over the past 2 years. It has paid for itself in fuel savings several times over."
Behold, the Aerocivic! Link
Saemus. Who cares if it doesn't look great? He's saving some good money. He can poke that in their faces.
Alison. The pieces make the car more aerodynamic. Get over the dumb looks. It's a car, a practical device. It's not for looking great.
also, he could always make it an art car, by painting neat designs on it. might even win some cash in an art car contest.
