The wheel covers are a riot to see on the road. These look like tumbling orange slices below 30mph, and above 50 or so they just start flashing violently! It's awesome.

I have been thinking about a slightly extended nose to get a really, really low stagnation point. Does anyone know if this would be more or less effecive than putting my energy toward a partial kammback/rear window shade? It appears that the nose is a touchy place with which to mess around.

Also I still have yet to update the last couple road trip tanks, because the gas log does not enter properly on my phone.

Last, planning on blacking out the drivers side rear window because I actually don't see out of it at all when driving, and with the heat in the car I'd like to cut down on solar gain. I'll try putting plastidip on the inside of the glass...
