Believing in the end of my air-cooled VW trajectory, I'm starting to see the opportunity cost. So I have the pieces of a boat tail clamped to the back of my car. I discussed it with aerohead (what is now) two years ago.

So you are inspiring me. 40mpg is also my goal. How do you propose to get there? Engine mods? Glowing plasma actuators?

Edit for typo. If you built it like an armadillo shell or a beetles hard outer wings, it could open up into a Burning-man-worthy event.
How to git to 40mpg? Not exactly sure but I'm gonna keep plugging away and trying out various options. No engine or transmission mods on the horizon...just trying different aerodynamic mods at the moment.
