Another Massive Cardboard Air Dam!

I felt inspired by MetroMPG's post "Massive air dam on '98 Geo Metro (Firefly)" So I got out the piece of cardboard I use to lay down on when I'm working under my car and sacrificed it for the good of science! I had so much fun while making this! You guys and your experiments remind me what life is all about, it's about having fun! Even if my numbers hadn't gone up as a result of this experiment, it would still have been worth it because I was giggling to myself the whole time I was making it :-D But it did seem to create a pretty decent increase in the numbers I was seeing on the gauge today. After work a young kid (about high school age) was parked across from me at the post office. He was driving a sporty looking Impreza and gave me the cool backwards peace sign out his window when he saw my cardboard air dam! What a riot!

I was thinking I would like to make something permanent like this for my car out of better materials...Heck, if I made it strong enough I could use it as a snow plow this winter! hahahaha!!!
