New York's not the best place to do this sort of experiment. You'd want the cars parked with no vehicles in front of them, so as to get unobstructed airflow. Parked behind a van, as in the picture? I think the resulting shape would be valid only for really close drafting :-)

The other problem I see is that the lack of mechanical strength means you're not going to get really good boattails.

I am still stocked up for the typical 25 below announced seemingly 5 hours before it happens...weird year this year.

I gotta feeling something vengeful is gonna come through, better bite my tongue.

snow winded on the car is where i learned the old sube too. A roof rack doesn't matter.
