The car is apparently looking weird enough that I'm getting basjoos-caliber comments from random passers by:

- "Is that electric"?

Two people figured it out right off the bat though:

- "Aerodynamic modifications?"

One visitor to the next door neighbour's was really interested. We talked about Kamm, the ideal teardrop shape etc, before his wife called him to bring in the wine for dinner!
