^^Search EM for "Coventry papers". A 10cm long open box around the rear end of an Audi A2 was like 2.5% drag reduction or something. I tried a 30mm box on the Probe with no testing and inconclusive fuel log results.

I'm thinking a classification( like with ships) as in;

Aerocivic class( Everything AND the kitchen sink like Aerocivic, Aerotrix, FrankenJetta,...),

Enterprise class( Fully manufactured cars like CarBEN EV, drmiller100s' trike, KenFry's trike,...)

Other names and classes to be decided...
Awesome! May I suggest changing Aerocivic Class to Basjoos Class, and Enterprise Class to Jaray Class? The Navy has a habit of using strange sounding names for ships and often naming them after people. I figure "Basjoos Class" also sounds a little more out there.

$0.02

I'm going to work on this boat tail some more today-- it needs to be DONE already!
