This will be my final entry about my pool noodle mustache...

It held up well during the trip out to Florida without any incidents. Mileage didn't show any appreciable increases that may have been offset by the winter gas blend or the single run to Florida.

I was all set to drive back with it but it snagged on a curb as I was backing up and it pulled from the mounting points. It was easier to just pull it than to try to repair it fer the road. It was a fun test to see how viable it was to use a simple product fer aerodynamic testing. I would say the most difficult part was to keep it attached to my lowered air dam and air dam belly pan if it were to be struck by road hazards. Time to move on to other projects and see how viable it will be to adapt a more active lowering air dam...
