aero cap

Toyota Motor Company has announced a niche-branded Lexus Cd 1.35 Sport-Coupe from it's Luxury Car Division.The 2-door will be available only to ToyotaNation members and will have no roof,nor trunklid,as obviously Toyota as well as all other carmakers have been scamming consumers for a century now,by offering these low-performance,needless,and useless additions to automobiles.----------------------------------------Toyota has also publicly apologized to the omnificent ToyotaNation members for it's transgression and will attempt to rectify the situation by removing the roofs and trunklids from it's entire product line.----------------------------------- And in a business reversal,and in conjunction with Lexus Motors,Brett Herndon has sworn off bedcover development,and will now concentrate on efforts to bring drogue-chutes to the pickup market at ToyotaNation.Brett has also made a public apology and promises to make parasitic drag his life-long ambition.

some of their posts are entertaining


Adding weight to a vehicle never improves fuel mileage.
People assume that the box of a truck and tailgate creates drag. A vacuum is created behind the cab that actually helps fuel mileage.
Throw some straw in the box and see what happens. The straw will move to the front of the box and not be piled against the tailgate.
When Mythbusters revisited the fuel mileage myth the only thing that improved mileage was using a mesh tailgate.
