Tried that on my laptop here (where the numpad is over letter keys) and it opened a History tab and a "save as" window.
They say my generation is good at computers but sometimes I just don't know...

Exactly. That's why the width dominates my illustration. I know you weren't trying to cut it short, either
Tropfenwagen, top. Too bad for the unfaired wheels and other 1920's accessories that dragged it down.

I know we've been over this before, but isn't it important on wagons that the top of the rear portion doesn't "stick out" of the template? Ie, that we have to move it back until it forms a tangent with the trailing edge. Otherwise you have a vertical step before the boat tail starts.

What do you mean by interference? Is that another way of saying pressure differential?
"advocated the tail truncation at 50% frontal area wake area to ease driving in traffic and parking issues."
How about you cut the tail in half and the smaller half moves in to nest inside the larger one when you need to park. Kinda like aero Russian nesting dolls.
