I felt like I was pushing a sail.
This was before I had the scangauge so there aren't 'real' numbers,
but the little Civic had to be forced to driven down hills.
That trunk lid ruined the aero of that car.
When I brought my scooter to college, My Contour topped out at 75 mph (the trunk was wide open, and the front wheel was hanging out in the wind)
