Obviously the tail is "good", but maybe it could be "better".
Ha. Yes! Think of the children!

The underside of the Aerocivic's boattail is steeper than the calculated optimum, but I had a steep angled driveway and also didn't want to be limited where I could drive by worries of a low hanging tail dragging on the ground. The alternative would have been to put rollers on the underside of the tail and make it strong enough to support the weight of the car if it got low centered.
