Calculated: frontal area of a '95-01 Geo Metro

[MetroMPG]

I finally borrowed a better digital camera than mine and used the zoom photo/Photoshop method of calculating frontal area:



Except the image I was actually working with was 1545x1127 pixels.

My results: 1.81 square meters / 19.45 square feet

This is pretty darn close to the Geo figures of 1.85 m^2 / 20 ft^2 listed here: http://www.mayfco.com/geo.htm (which are uncredited, and tainted by the author's admission that many of the figures on his site are estimates).

Of course I only have one mirror, and much of the time the single mirror is folded flat, so I'll prep a few more variations of A for use in my calculations.

PHOTOSHOP never ceases to amaze me!!!!!!!!!!!!! That terrific Darin!

P.S. Maybe this should be in the "sticky",as many members have asked about frontal area.

Yeah Darin,I think this one should be in the "sticky".
