The spare tire cover? I once saw a [then] newer car with fake spare tires on each side of the hood, but donut-sized, with portions cut out to fit.

It has only been three days, but Atilla has not answered any of these nineteen responses.

I just drove to my parents' house, 164 miles each way, up and down hills, and through canyons. The only time that I used my brakes was in-town, or when someone passed me too closely. I coasted in neutral where I could, stayed in gear when necessary, and downshifted a few times. The only hill on which I used my brakes was entering town. Descending, turn a corner, the speed limit drops, and you see photo radar ahead.

I doubt that using pizza pans would make me so aerodynamic that I could not maintain a safe speed in any gear.
