MetroMPG- basjoos was hit from behind which is much of the inspiration for my bright lights.

Cd-I was thinking of painting it black instead of green, but I'm not too sure yet

NeilBlanchard- I do plan on tuft testing once I find a willing participant. The web-cam on stick would be good, but I don't have a laptop and I'm not really willing to stick one of my cameras on the end of a pole.

I would most certainly help to have a smaller underside angle, but I need to be able to pull into driveways without scraping so that's why my angle is so high. I may have gone a little too high, but the extra drag is more than worth having the tail hit the ground.
