Well here's hoping they do a followup.

(Imagine getting paid to do this stuff? The things we could test!!)

My biggest problem with this particular show is you can be certain that there are uncritical viewers who now believe in their hearts of hearts that a dimpled car body is better. EG:

"MYTHBUSTERS prove golf ball dimple theory on cars works!!!"

You can be guaranteed that the next time someone tries hawking some slap-on fuel saving textured product, they'll be pointing to this episode as proof! Just you wait!
