I've experienced this as well - any car with a boat tail will do it. I've stuck tails on 3 different vehicles so far, and it's definitely not a modification for the shy!

The most fun I have with big aero mods is when gawkers ask, "WHAT IS THAT FOR!?" I always turn it around and say, "what do you think it's for?" I've had some interesting conversations.

Thanks for the updates! Especially the Insight comparo.
