In a few of the episodes, especially the last, 8 or 9 I think, he calls for people to send him models to test. If we had a way to send him one on behalf of "ecomodder" ... is there a boattail model, or anything that would demonstrate some of the principles?

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
