Hi Brick, nice to see you.

I have to say I was mildly disappointed when you decided to trade the Accord rather than mod it out, but I understand. The Prius is a fun & capable machine.

I've been meaning to bug krousdb to chime in with reports on the aero tweaks he's done to his car (lower grille block, rh mirror delete, full undertray, wheel discs.. I think). He's had them on long enough now that I'm sure he has comparitive data from last year to this. I know he's recorded several personal bests in the last month or so.

But being the consummate engineer, he's been unwilling to credit the mods in the absense of a control.

Gotta love it. Seriously.
