One of my favorite pics. It's in my albums.

The story is interesting. Here's a thread on the HAMB: www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/iii-la-panamericana.482520/. "Canopy's from a Consolidated-Vultee BT-13 Trainer..." There is a 1/43rd scale model.

Has anyone done a study tuft-testing those door window 'visors'? Maybe they act like a Wickerbill and pull the air back against a closed window?

The tie-downs to allow opening the hatch are interesting.

Have you guys noticed this? Well, I mean you guys up in the north maybe, there's quite a few 18-wheelers with a snow mound at the very back of the trailer. Seems to me they're the ones where the back is riding a little bit lower than the rest

The car in The Naked Gun isn't actually a Tesla, despite the heavy references

Fans identified the car as a modified Hyundai Ioniq 6

The overhead top view in the film shows the back window covered up (all roof) , and it looks cool.

Someone removed the rear spoiler on a hyundai kona, like in this video:
I'm not able to post link, search youtube for "How to remove the rear spoiler Hyundai Kona"
After more than 5000km, he's saying he saw a 15Wh/km improvment at 90kph
He also claims :
- rear window is cleaner, and he doesn't even need the rear wiper anymore;
- rear camera (which is hidden above the licence plate) is clean
- less noise

Looks to good to be true, and also I don't understand why it's improving consumption ? I was expecting the opposite
