Ha ha! Thanks for noticing my Paul Reiser-inspired attempt at humor. I wasn't sure if anyone would notice.

Neil, yes, there was a crosswind that day. I'm thinking this may very well have buggered my test. I only did one run north with the disc on, and one run south with the disc off. Then we went home. Since she doesn't read this forum, I'll blame it on the wife. I was trying not to inconvenience her too much. Lesson learned.

There were no cars ahead of us, I was careful of that. I tried to hug the side of the road to provide as much space between the two cars. dOsitmatr, which clip and at what time do you think you see the disturbance from the camera car?

Orange, great minds think alike. I've been contemplating a wheel well insert with a nice radius-ed edge; something to emulate the first gen Insight. If painted black, it would be visually inconspicuous, too.

California, I have not calculated any gains/losses. My tank to tanks are just too varied to show this small of a change. I think the next thing I need to do is do some legitimate ABA tests. You know I'll post it when I do.
