So there's this lady in the same building as me right.
And she's one of these "the would bows to me types". She's got a 350Z and yesterday (because it was nice and we both had topless convertables in the parking lot) we start talking about convertables. Turns out that her cars better than mine because it's aerodynamically designed to keep the air off of her. (Which isn't suprising because everything she has is better than everyone elses....

Viola no more deflected air! Anybody ever tried it? Theoritically possible? Bryce |

bad idea for a few reasons.....
it's loud, no matter what kind of engine you have (an electric motor does not count (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) ) you'll get more gas fumes coming into the cabin.... it's loud (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) I just re-installed my rear window on Sunday, just the few times I've driven it that way it was too loud...cannot remember if the wind was an issue or not, but I wouldn't do it again.... knock yourself out (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) |
