Free aero wheel covers.

After parking my car today, I realized I'd picked up some free aerodynamic wheel covers on the way home.






For those of you living in the great white north, be careful out there!

lol! Gotta love free, effortless mods.

Whenever I had my Neon, it snowed deep on the rear and, after a few highway miles, it created a nice Kammback. Not sure if it actually helped at all, but it sure gave me ideas!

(That I never did anything with, lol)

I almost wonder if it would be possible to lightly mist the snow on the back to ice it and use that as a form to make a fiberglass kamm.

I get a set everyday on my mail truck. They don't seem to help as with the chains on the rear tires, and getting "stuck" 20 times a day, I get less than 5mpg.

I wish I had some free snow aero . . . wait, what the crap am I saying?

I went to Columbus Ohio this spring and it was 6 degrees, and I said "never again". Enjoy your winter, people!

Look at that Friday low, nothing colder then high humidity and near freezing with a little wind. We used to live in Orlando in the Navy and I remember some cold formations as we never switched out of summer uniforms there.
