There are a few making some good suggestions, but the overall negative attitude is really useless. Good thing Tesla didn't give up on every "nahh, that'll never work"
Hermie is a kid who freaked out on lift. I think he's been educated now. But it sure was entertaining.

I've had several and still do have a Bug. I can wind it out as fast as it'll go and there is no way, no how that it is lifting to the point of rotation or even loss of control due to lift. Now, since so many of them are OLD, it is entirely possible to lose control due to worn chassis components.

If you want to pursue windshield lips be my guest. I'm just saying, I've tested them and they do nothing. I'm sorry you don't like that result. Redo the test yourself and/or recruit 100 others to do it too. It'll still fail because the principle is bunk.

If cheering for the failed is what you want, there is a lot of that on HHO forums...
