Forgot to say:

I'm getting hints of what Mike deals with in the Aerocivic: at different times today, five people stopped and asked me what I was doing. Three who were walking by, and two actually stopped their cars and got out to talk to me.

They all suspected it was aeromodding (I asked them "what do you think it is?" before I told them anything).

I suspect if you wanted to advertise on an attention-getting car, never mind smart cars or VW bugs or Hummers. Get a boat tail.
