Someone spotted the T-100 with the 1-wheel aero trailer in the wild and posted pics on Reddit.

REDDIT: "Aerodynamic" Pick up : WTF

What ensues is a combination of ignorance...

• "This would not increase fuel mileage in any way."
• "Given the extra weight it probably decreases vehicle efficiency."
• "Exactly. Unless he's speeding backwards often"
• "I can't help but feel a tonneau cover would suffice."

... plus a surprising amount of attempts at education to refute these statements.

I like how someone mentions Phil's work as well.

The amount of misinformation out in the world really scares me sometimes...

Is that a thief making his getaway in the background?

Its the ignorance that is created by the marketing boys of the big firms

The shooter actually asked my permission to shoot piccies of the truck. He didn't ask any questions about the rig at all.

That's a little odd, considering he was planning to share it with the world.

Quite odd. He obviously knew there'd be interest in it.

There...made my post in there. ;)

Very succinct.

I don't really understand the order of comments. BZP, did you comment after all of those comments or did they continue to be ignorant even after you said your 'before and after'?

That austin guy certainly seemed to know a thing or two.
