I know Phil has said there's separation on the back glass. That makes me really want to "see" just what's going on back there.
Me too. Although if you look at threewheeler's fuel log, it has been really climbing since the tail was added. He is obviously doing something right. He mentions some electronic mumbo-jumbo that a diesel owner like me, doesn't understand and that could have something to do with it too. I have to think the air really likes the shape though.
