Return of the Rishar with a new car

I first introduced myself about a year back with some grand plans for aero modding a 1996 Sunfire. After many months in a row of not having any extra money because of repair work, I finally got a new vehicle. Now don't get me wrong, I love my Sunfire and the engine in those won't die...but everything else does add up fast.

I now have a 2010 Prius that I've already got a Nook Color with Torque app connected. Mounted it to the steering column using a metal shelving bracket XD. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Drill holes into a car I've only had a month. Personally, I blame the dealership...they started it. I have two ugly holes in the front bumper because they just had to screw their dealer plate in the front (crappy cardboard like one mind you). And I'm in Michigan...don't need a plate on the front! So figured, they wanna start screwing my car, I'll...wait, this is derailing fast into that part of the internet...

Anyway, I'm back once again with grand plans for aero modding...whether I actually accomplish them or not...time will tell . But I must say, the mockup of a boattail on the Prius looks pretty damn sexy to me.
