PIMP car! I wasn't even sure what I was looking at right away due to the mirror finish, but I would definitely feel cool driving it.

Basically I imagined a "final" version to be hinged at the top like said above... basically the entire flat area would be liftable, with some sort of lift assist. It may not be practical for many reasons (the tailgait may bounce freely and cause problems. It may require windows too... Just an idea that could be expanded on by anyone.

As for the question of whether it would maintain flow or not, that's another question (and my third bullet for why it may not work), and would be heavily dependent on the truck you are using. The short bed trucks would probably never work, but I would imagine most full size beds would be under that magical 15 degree angle. Even if you had to have the back end raised up a few inches to keep the 15 degrees, it just gives you a bit more length to boat tail the truck.
