On a side note....

Unfortunately I am a smoker, but it can lead to some interesting observations. When I used to toss a butt out the window, (I don't do it often) I would notice the wind grab it and wildly toss it around right out of the window. Now I tossed one out and it flew smoothly along the side of the truck and dropped down to the rear smoothly in the trailing wake. A huge difference in the smoothness of the airflow along the side and into the trailing wake seems to be the answer to that.

What do you all think?
