Anyone who’s managed to score higher than “zero” on this thing is a golden god and should run the global economy. UPDATE: DAVE J. HAS THE SECRET. [EcoDriving USA]

I think I got a 44 once I figured out to inflate my tires and take all the TruckNutz out of the trunk.

Origami December 2, 2008 at 6:34 pm

SERIOUSLY.

ManchuCandidate December 2, 2008 at 6:34 pm

I got 6900. That makes me a demi god, right? Or just a loser who can’t drive…

satyricrash December 2, 2008 at 6:38 pm

I played as Lindsay Lohan. I got a perfect zero!

Lascauxcaveman December 2, 2008 at 6:38 pm

I got a zero. But I have salvaged part of my pride by reminding myself, in real life, I can still get 30mpg out of my superannuated Camry and have never come close to wrecking it.

My 8-year-old pWns me at Marble Blast, however :(

Origami December 2, 2008 at 6:39 pm

[re=189442]Dave J.[/re]: OMG, I can’t believe it took me so long to figure that out.

ShamWow December 2, 2008 at 6:39 pm

WTF, I rammed into my neighbors house five times trying to steer. I’m off to inflate my tires, thanks Dave!

DarkSynergy December 2, 2008 at 6:40 pm

Impossible.

ManchuCandidate December 2, 2008 at 6:42 pm

Oh yeah, drive like your pants are hitched up to your nipples and demand all those young whipper snapper maniacs to slow down to a safe speed of 9mph. Seriously.

Maddy December 2, 2008 at 6:44 pm

I just got a 24,070. I took the highway.

Barrett808 December 2, 2008 at 6:45 pm

So Wonkette is causing my eTrust anti-virus meds to freak out:

The Actns/Swif.T was detected in C:\USERS\BARRETT808\APPDATA\LOCAL\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES\LOW\CONTENT.IE5\A5WAY9DE\L[1].SWF.
Machine: BARRETT808, User: REDMOND\barrett808.
File Status: File was cured; system cure performed.

Every time I refresh the page with Wonkette in IE7.

What’s up with that?

magic titty December 2, 2008 at 6:45 pm

I was doing ok until the last left home. Then some shit happened. Zero is the highest oyu can get, right?

Voyou Charmant December 2, 2008 at 6:46 pm

I don’t even get it. I couldn’t find anyone to run over.

smashtheduck December 2, 2008 at 6:47 pm

Maybe a couple drinks woulda helped.

DarkSynergy December 2, 2008 at 6:47 pm

This game can suck it.

rambone December 2, 2008 at 6:48 pm

12,104, but three letters is insufficient for me to type anything snarky in the high scores list. So I went with WKT in honor of wonkette.

Borat December 2, 2008 at 6:49 pm

Seriously, is there some voter fraud here. Wonkette says we are Number 1, but their internal rankings is missing 1. Damn it, if I’m going to waste my time on something, I want recognition. Or at least recognition for some website I can’t tear myself away from.

cal December 2, 2008 at 6:49 pm

Are Truck Nutz eco-friendly?

carerer December 2, 2008 at 6:49 pm

College Humor posted a funner game today called Incredibots. Well, not by much.

WhatTheHeck December 2, 2008 at 6:53 pm

I bet this game was designed by one of the Big Three.
It’s fucked up. Like, I’m going to be driving the car of the future with my keyboard arrows.
And like, I can’t drive without my Barack hula doll on my dash.

qwerty42 December 2, 2008 at 6:54 pm

JFC, i mean, I should have been arrested. and getting into the driveway was the worst. i do see how you can get hit by a train tho as i never looked (are the tracks even used?).

nurple December 2, 2008 at 6:57 pm

Eco-driving porn movie rip-off in 3..2…

the doctor December 2, 2008 at 6:58 pm

I got like a 39,000.

Botswana Meat Commission FC December 2, 2008 at 6:58 pm

Here’s some addictive shit…

http://www.kongregate.com/games/WeirdBeardGames/99-bricks

It’s like Tetris and Jenga had kinky bathroom sex.

Kev-O-Tron December 2, 2008 at 7:00 pm

I shot a hooker, stole a cadillac and escaped from the cops and still got a zero. Oh wait…

edgydrifter December 2, 2008 at 7:01 pm

I just floor it and go straight ahead until I wrap myself around a tree. I keep my tires at max inflation, though, because I love the planet.

Lascauxcaveman December 2, 2008 at 7:01 pm

Also: don’t know if there’s a cause/effect relationship, but after five collisions where I rear-ended other cars at high speed, my engine would only operate at 3750 RPM or higher, which i thought was pretty cool.

Fivetree December 2, 2008 at 7:03 pm

I don’t drive anyway. Is there a bus version or a bike and ride thingie? I think, according to this game, I should be dead by now. And by the way, that car is a piece of shit. I am going to try it again with a hand over one eye – when I do drive that’s what I do when I’m drunk cause this game is what that feels like.

Borat December 2, 2008 at 7:03 pm

So I don’t own a car (I juss’ jack’em when i needs ‘em). What’s my ecodriving score?

TootTootToot December 2, 2008 at 7:04 pm

39,778.

You can make that car go 75mph IN REVERSE! Screw the environment!

bago December 2, 2008 at 7:05 pm

Well, mister Barrett808, you’re on the Redmond Domain and you’re deleting a cache file for a shockwave flash application.

Jamie Sommers December 2, 2008 at 7:06 pm

4373, bitches! And I was weaving all over the freeway, just like in real life!!!

shortsshortsshorts December 2, 2008 at 7:11 pm

I cant even make the thing move with the arrow keys.

fishcanoeski December 2, 2008 at 7:14 pm

[re=189455]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Exactly. Except you can score more points if you get her up to 27mph on the freeway.

Anonymous Office Zombie December 2, 2008 at 7:14 pm

[re=189457]Barrett808[/re]:
Yeah, same here. I get infected with an Actns/Swif.T virus every time I load or refresh.

rambone December 2, 2008 at 7:14 pm

Being eco-conscious is lame in virtual reality as well.

DCAZ December 2, 2008 at 7:20 pm

32,175!!! I removed everything from my trunk, kept the tire pressure 1 bar below the max, and maintained a speed of 45 mph. I also took the longer route

JohnnyMac December 2, 2008 at 7:24 pm

42,901 by keeping it at a steady 18mph on the highway. I’m sure I’d be dead in less than a minute in real life but my corpse would fertilize the ditch weed so it’s all good for mother earth, right?

mhale0 December 2, 2008 at 7:32 pm

FUCK THAT GAME!

bluetom00 December 2, 2008 at 7:33 pm

This is not CRUISIN’ USA. I hate it.

sailingthestyx December 2, 2008 at 7:35 pm

the guy in the orange car got really pissed off at me for hitting his car, got out and grabbed a tire iron from his trunk and beat the shit out of my car…I’m pissed and the insurance company won’t take my calls; I’m walking…just scored a gazillion points for walking and taking public transportation.

Chief Grinning Eagle December 2, 2008 at 7:36 pm

It began when I took that first wrong turn. Realizing I was no longer on the interstate and seeing no traffic or peace officers, I took it out to Mariposa tapped the up arrow while the alt and ! keys were down. I tried to to see how much over a hundred I could get of out it – and flipped it just like Jimmy Dean.

Good thing it had a roll bar and I was wearing a seat belt.
You gotta know the cheats and then it’s more fun than Grand Theft Auto.

InsidiousTuna December 2, 2008 at 7:37 pm

27k. Not too hard.

InsidiousTuna December 2, 2008 at 7:42 pm
tallulah December 2, 2008 at 7:47 pm

fuck this game

tonehedge December 2, 2008 at 7:51 pm

All I got for each of the ten games I played is zero, so YAWN, whats the big deal.

Not_So_Much December 2, 2008 at 7:52 pm

I kept it straight and slow. Then I was killed in a hail of gunfire due to road rage from the other drivers.

jagorev December 2, 2008 at 7:54 pm

I spent 40 minutes trying to master this game instead of doing anything restore the investment banking industry to profitability (which is, in a way, my job). I can haz bailout?

shortsshortsshorts December 2, 2008 at 7:55 pm

DOODS your versions of flash must be far superior to mine because I STILL cannot make the stupid car move. I think I’ll get out of it and walk.
Whose more sustainable now, bitches?

Dear Diorama December 2, 2008 at 7:56 pm

Why does the left arrow make the car go right?

anabellum December 2, 2008 at 8:03 pm

eco-drive my ass…if you’re really concerned, get a bicycle

that said, the real bitch is when you get 47 levels down into the dungeon of ordeals…and there are THREE of the heavily armored guys waiting….time to drink some blue juice, and try to remember how to do the backslash move…

bombs do not work!

Keram2 December 2, 2008 at 8:04 pm

[re=189528]Dear Diorama[/re]: Because Eco-Driving makes no sense. HIPPIES DON’T DRIVE!

Dear Diorama December 2, 2008 at 8:05 pm

But what about the left arrow not making the car go left?

WagTehGod December 2, 2008 at 8:08 pm

Perhaps the contest is to see who drunk drives best. That would be tailor made for Wonketeers.

mattbolt December 2, 2008 at 8:29 pm

Oh, old people, your adorable confusion with technology is endearing

wheelie December 2, 2008 at 8:42 pm

It’s GTA for the Flanders family.

blader December 2, 2008 at 8:50 pm

green truck nutz irony alert:
imagine all the coal that was burned just so people could play that fucking game online

Gob December 2, 2008 at 9:19 pm

When you pick up the hooker make sure you use a lambskin condom before you kill her. 10,000 green points!

effinHel December 2, 2008 at 9:32 pm

I got off the map and could not get back on… before that I could not drive under the overpass… Is that a DOT fuck up or what… The only green feature was I was not actually driving a car while I played that game.

hobgoblin of little minds December 2, 2008 at 9:42 pm

24,561 Woohoo! Oh, and the Wonkette Readers team is kicking everyone else’s ass on the EcoDriving Leaderboard. 3,609,963 pts. Next closest is “Group of the Greatest Drivers on Earth” at 166,895 pts.

qwerty42 December 2, 2008 at 9:52 pm

150 players are with “Wonkette Readers” ???? WTF

DangerousLiberal December 2, 2008 at 10:04 pm

Inflated the tires, took all the crap outta the trunk, except the nine-iron (self defense, ya know) and still got a zero, probs because I still drive like an Alzheimer’s patient on quaaludes.

bitchincamaro December 2, 2008 at 10:05 pm

For some reason I found myself kissing a lamp post before I touched the pedals.

Chuck Fildren December 2, 2008 at 10:18 pm

16,482 Bitches! Beat that!

National Fried Boloney League December 2, 2008 at 10:28 pm

36,969 in 39.47 seconds

Of course, in real life I could never get all my shit out of the trunk, inflate my trucknutz to max and then drive on a freeway below the speed limit without getting shot/run into/run off of the road/arrested for being a dick…

ThomasAllen December 2, 2008 at 10:55 pm

You get more points if you whack a few cops and jack a Prius.

Sassette December 2, 2008 at 11:22 pm

I couldn’t even drive before it locked up Firefox and forced me to restart. SCREW THE ENVIRONMENT.

maryn December 2, 2008 at 11:33 pm

Yeah, after pumping up my tires and carrying nothing ever, I got a 17,000. But I was going like 30mph on the highway, which would have gotten me killed in Chicago. So… toss up.

Mr Blifil December 3, 2008 at 12:05 am

I wanted to get to the end of the route, but found all the street walkers very distracting. And while I appreciated the offers of recycled condoms, I found the concept to be more than a little off-putting.

Mahousu December 3, 2008 at 12:09 am

This game did provide me with one useful tip – if you squeeze between the other cars, you can blow right through the red lights. And this maneuver saves you gas, since you’re not sitting around idling. I’ll have to try this out on my commute tomorrow.

Mr Blifil December 3, 2008 at 12:09 am

[re=189518]InsidiousTuna[/re]: What part of “avoid idling” do you not fucking understand?

gambypants December 3, 2008 at 12:11 am

ha! i got Al Gore to fill up my gas at one point and then offer to drive me to the moon. wowzers!

WadISay December 3, 2008 at 12:21 am

I got a DWI, did a drive-by and commited vehicular homicide with this. I’m ready for the next challenge.

buggers December 3, 2008 at 12:44 am

That thing was hard, y’all! I liked how it kept telling me I was driving too fast.

Sour Cream and Oinon Pringles December 3, 2008 at 1:22 am

To do my part to help the environment, tomorrow I’ll play Pac-Man on the expressway at 15 MPH.

I LIVE DANGEROUSLY!

Lionel Hutz Esq. December 3, 2008 at 2:30 am

I still cannot figure out how to fire my machine gun or release an oil slick. What kind of game is this?

accidental_tourist December 3, 2008 at 2:38 am

Well dayum. It wouldn’t let me take the Blue Highways route without flipping me back towards the interstate. William Least Heat-Moon would not be amused and neither am I.

facehead December 3, 2008 at 3:19 am

35k, now give me my free Hummer.

Pizzuti December 3, 2008 at 3:51 am

I got 14,000. The people at ecodrivingusa.com seem to believe that mindlessly crashing into things is bad for the environment. I demand to see their research!

I’ve got to say that game has successfully pissed me off enough to make me want to burn a pile of tires in the back yard stacked with endangered species and styrofoam.

Mahousu December 3, 2008 at 9:01 am

[re=189646]facehead[/re]: At this point, GM would be happy to give you the whole Hummer division.

lada_sue December 4, 2008 at 2:21 am

Oh, come on! I just eliminated like 800 horrible carbon emitters (humans). And I’m the one who’s bad for environment?!

Nora-charles December 5, 2008 at 10:09 pm

[re=189455]ManchuCandidate[/re]: “Oh yeah, drive like your pants are hitched up to your nipples” I laughed for 5 minutes straight at that. Bounced the cat right off my lap.
