Who was “ amateur aerodynamics?”

Here!-Here!

You've successfully built this forum into your own echo chamber, aerohead, so comment away.

Yep. And nowhere that I'm aware of after a webb and site search:
site:ecomodder.com aerohead aerodynamic qualifications qualified work experience "worked" at 'degree"
Have I found any mention of any qualifications or real work experience in aerodynamics.

I do know that he is well read in Sun Tzu: The Art of War:

"...when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.
In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.
...If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him."

If you want chaos; aerodynamics.
The closest I have seen is him waving a 'smoke stick' at a vehicle.
Now aerodynamicists do this to clay models and make iterative changes and improvements as part of the aerodynamic optimization process.
Taping up the grille and door seems etc, flat bottem; is the same as waving that smokestick at a clay model...
The Photos we see of a production vehicle in a wind tunnel are 99% for advertising and 1% to see if the door handles, badge, antennae, etc have done anything crazy to aero.
Advertising..!

Q; Here's an elastic band and a ruler. See how far the band stretches before it breaks.
a: No.
Q: Why not?
a: Because I might break it.
Q: We don't care about the subject! We care about the result!
a: I'm not stretching my elastic band. I'm saving everyone from stretching things. I know.

The long version is here:
This... is a novel!
Of (linked) scientific exploration against?
Lists of acronyms mostly.
"DANGER! Too difficult to understand sh!t here! StayTF awaaaay!"

Bring the popcorn and coffee.
Oh and your science hat!
Take a week.
[The room...: Empties...] It's like, thinking for yourself, is no fun!?

I Learned a lot there:
About lubricants, solid lubricants and lubrication.
Initially I hadn't read nearly as much before trying it. It worked. Well! Very!!
So when it came up, I thought I'd say so.
You know: Help.
Lol!

I also learned that there are people who actually think it a good idea to think like Sun Tsu.
And:

“To know your Enemy, you must become your Enemy.”
― Sun Tzu

Now that's a rare door to (want to?) open...

Yep! And its fun!

This may be: EcoModder; a site about (easily) improving economy:
But somehow... I don't think asking here, if anyone has a donor engine. For science! is going to fly..?
