Piwoslaw -

Ha ha, I was thinking about that last night, i.e. why didn't Saturn just make the car that way!?!?!? If I had the skillz you're proposing in the picture, I'd do a chop top to reduce the frontal area.

RobertSmalls -

I didn't rotate the image because I pulled it "as is" from tirerack.com, and it's only a 0.2 degree difference anyway. They use that picture as a base for imaging fan$y wheels on the car. Even when I use the "Print Page (PDF)" option, it's just a PDF of the same image. Scaling it up doesn't really buy me much. However, maybe this is a good excuse to do a picture of my real car from far away (to reduce the distortion from perspective).
