Hi Metro,
No you haven't missed it. I've been on the road for work lately and have had a short amount of time to devote to compiling a summary page.

My work has absolutely nothing to do with car efficiencies and/or aero-dynamics, and I mean that in a positive way.
I simply got very interested in the cost of gas, the environment, and national security when our dependence on foreign oil came to a head in the spring of 2007 with the price of gas approaching $4.00 per gallon.
The light bulb turned on for me, and has continued burning brightly since. I started hyper-milling and got real interested in aero body shapes when BicycleBob got me in touch with EcoModder. I found Bob on another site and we started corresponding over another design that I was interested in at the time.

You bet! I have full intentions of making all of my designs work throughout the year, and under normal driving situations that everyone else encounters.
Jim.
