That would explain why you still have the 'mudflaps' !

If you ever get around to running more tuft tests, I was wondering if I could request a favor : Both you and I have a rounded tail end to our cars.*
It would be interesting to see whether a 'trip stip' or a straight edge would have any effect on decreasing the vortexes.
I'd guess that they are rounded for a reason, but as we know, a sharp edge is usually better than a rounded end.
I meant to test this on my last failed attempt at tuft testing.
