Simply put, they stir up less air. Air is the number one loss of an automobile at highway speeds.

Ah, WALA! INSTANT BOX KITE FLYING PERSON!

Hey that could be real cool!

It's quite possible to "float" on plywood in high winds, if you can place your weight in such a manner that it keeps the plywood at the proper angle into the wind. (Rear bias) Of course, you'd want to keep the plywood anchored by a rope, chain, etc. to prevent it from actually flying.

Yup, that's me. I agree with you in principle but I am an animal of my time, so I admit to that fault. But remember the planet recycles too. Would you like some Honest 'Abe with your coffee? ... or maybe that's just reuse?!?!?!

I'd ABSOLUTELY LOVE to have coffee with several people who are long gone from us.

President Lincoln is, among many, one.

Nice job on the flat rim covers. Have been debating on trying the same on my Impala.
