Aerodynamics

FYI - a while back Andrew had made a comment about a Honda Insight and trailer aerodynamics
well - at the time no one had pictures - however I believe I stumbled upon them.

Website's French http://inter.action.free.fr/labo-aero/aero-vr/aero-vr.html -
but I believe the point is that the Honda with Kammback had a CD of 0.25 and with trailer it's 0.12 - so more aerodynamic with the trailer than without.

(although it's a bit small for a standy)

My ToyBox is a brick wall...

I've been reading on this website about smoothing:

Once I get the head gasket repair done the build will begin again. I have some ideas about smoothing the gap between the cab and the box. Also, adding a whale tail out back to reduce the vacuum.
