Arrow The "Interesting Reading" thread

Hi folks,

I had a bit of an idea while browsing today - I think we could use a Sticky thread where we can post little snippets of interesting articles regarding aerodynamics. I'll edit this first post to add articles as people suggest them.

Let me kick things off:

From first article, this is the best image I could find on the roof spoiler they talk about.

To my eyes, the Ford Fiesta did a better job of things, and it's a smaller car.
