As a kid I used to draw pictures of what I thought would be the airflow around a car, kind of like a "this is going fast" kind of thing. I'm still fascinated by what might be called "fluid dynamics", but I don't know enough math to get past basic college stuff.

Toyota had an ad for the 80? Corolla, a hatchback kind of sporty-ish car. I loved the look of the car, and the ad had the car driving in water (rain?) with the shot taken with a slightly slower shutter speed, making the droplets around the car kind of blur together. I googled it briefly just now but I only got shots of Toyotas driving through puddles. This ad was a picture of the car going at speed, with the roostertail and everything.

F1 racing - I remember watching the Williams BMW cars in F1 - the air went straight up from the rear wing. Not that any other F1 car was different, but at the time I was rooting for them.
