Dont think the SWMABO will allow this

Somehow this feels like a chp attractive
It is rounded in a couple different ways, but there is more that can be done at that trailing edge, and I'm thinking about it. But this is the shape that I tested at El Mirage last weekend and it seemed to work really well. So I don't want to diverge too far from what seemed to work out on the dry lake bed.

I'm a little concerned about attracting police attention too. It's less conspicuous than it looks in such a close up photo. But none the less today I took some remnant paint out of the garage and painted the cardboard black. So here's what it looks like now.

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.
