Cattleheads like that don't think. 
YKYAEM when you have 120 tufts of yarn taped to your car to test your latest aeromod, and the wife is balking at driving with you to get the video shot, and your fourteen year old son offers to drive instead... and for a brief moment you consider the possibility.

Ever since my car acquired "special operating instructions" no-one wants to drive it.

When at a stop light you get asked "what does that thing on the car do?"

The answer is also a question: If aerodrag doesn't play much of a role at city speeds, then why can't you pedal your bike at that speed for long?
A car may have better Cd than a cyclist, but its FA is oh! so much larger.
