I care - and I would have thought you would too.

I actually addressed this one today on another thread, but I'll repeat what I commented.
I didn't mean no interest in the book, just not really interested in 'lift' issues.
Since no caveats or conditions were volunteered in the 5th-Ed Aerodynamics of Road Vehicles, my only explanation for this relatively new interest in lift would have to do with ( in the USA anyway) increased posted speed limits since 1995, and the plethora of sales in higher profile vehicles such as pickups, SUVs, VANs, and CUVs.
Sports cars are already compensating.
I'm pinching pennies, saving for a BEV, and home improvements . Any book purchases are off the table for me.
