Oh, there was some sophomore engineering student who was taking his first fluid dynamics class, who came on here several years ago and started a thread wherein he proceeded to lecture us all about how underbody panels should "resemble a golf ball design, or be shaped as if the bottom of your car is an airfoil."

When he received some legitimate pushback, he fled the site, never to return.
