Forget drafting!
 
What weight monofilament would I need to tow my car and how would I set up an invisible grapple? :D

Nano-tubes™. :thumbup:

EDIT: Decapitation hazard. No not attempt this at home.

I figured that it would snap if someone tried to cut between the semi and me, but now that you mention it, what if that were a motorcycle rider?

I suppose you could measure if a Forester has enough ground clearance to high-center a motorcycle with a decapitated corpse on it. :rolleyes:

I think that I would an even stronger monofilament.

jakobnev 05-04-2013 04:28 PM

I think the monofilament your verb.

Maybe you could find some spider silk multifilamnet line. I've though about this before, probably as a result of reading "Diamond Age". Edge up to the semi, toss the grapple over it's bumper, and then back off and fall in line. :) Just need a quick release so that you can retract it if someone jumps in front of you.

jakobnev -- LOL

Yeah it would be fun .... until somebody rolls up behind and grapples *you*.

What you need is a strong magnet on an extendable arm. And for people grappling you... Well, yet another reason to drive an aluminum-bodied Gen1 Insight :-)

:confused: I rather you get your aero right. Once thats done you have no need to draft. :thumbup:
