What got me thinking about the boattail was whenever I drove down a leaf covered road in the fall in the OEM shaped car, I would see leaves continually popping up behind the rear glass in the rear view mirror as I drove down the road. This told me there was a massive recirculating eddy being generated behind the car that was picking leaves off the road and lifting them to the height of the car.
