Most definitely; I'm really into cars (I also have a mustang) and I already share much of my automotive knowledge with my students!

Glad to be here! I specifically recall seeing your experimentation with the kammback on your car a year or two ago, and you mentioning how your neighbors were on-looking at your cardboarded car with curiosity. Two questions: Was that on this site? (did it exist then?) and I also seem to think you mentioned a specific angle you didn't want it to slope greater than; something like 12 degrees.... Do I remember any of this correctly?
