Subcompact Culture spotted & posted about it last month

See: Subcompact Culture - The small car blog: Behold: The Boat tail Metro

Apparently it's in Oregon City, Oregon.

Anybody we know?

...Metro, aero template, coroplast, clear acrylic, etc...the force is strong on this one.

I really like his light set up and the curve of the window ( or is it actually just popping out ...hmmm )
Even the angle of the underside of the tail looks to be correct .

botsapper: thank you for the laugh!

Actually the underside looks lots steep to me... haven't looked at/thought about basjoos' car lately; his is steep too... has he reported any testing, yarn or otherwise, under there? If his works at all it's because of generous radii on the bottom edges so that air rushing under there from the sides has a better go of it. Otherwise I'd wager it's like Hucho says (what did he say exactly? :confused: ) but it was a very, very shallow angle.
