There's an interesting story with these big ass wings. An engineer started looking at the Bug's drag and aero models and found that there are MASSIVE turbulence eddies that happen just off of the ass end of the car; so much so that it creates a vacuum pocket that essentially anchors the car in the air.

 

These big wings, and they must have the huge vertical flaps, actually improved his miles per gallon by about 15%.

 

Interesting

funny thing, i have been messing with a ccfl inverter and a couple spark plugs. i can have a blue cold cathode AND a flame shooter kit all in one. it originally was a blue computer neon kit. i decided they were too gaudy and took them out. only 6 bucks. and the purple spark they put off with the spark plug makes up for the gayness of the original idea.

I watched an Eclipse that was shooting flames not only get pulled over, but the rear fascia caught fire. Watched the cop scramble to his trunk and pull out a fire extinguisher. That had to be one hell of a ticket. :)

LOLOL thats awesome. i love the kids in the background that think he accidentally pulled forward, then screamed like girls when it backfired.

 

they are typical douchebags. laugh at a car then it either whips your ass or scares the shit out of you.
