Bug deflector. front foil air drag
Any Boing Engineer/Jeepers out there. MIT Grads?
Is this broken "bug guard" messing with my highway mileage? At one point it had edges that swept back. I was thinking it might be breaking up the flow and causing turbulence. (laminar) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminar_flow)
Supper handy for packen stuff on the hood. Never had a farm animal fall off!

I ditched mine for less academic reasons. I hated it poking me in the gut/chest when working on my Jeep.

I didn't say they weren't for her. "Don't ask, don't tell" works...

Hey even a wallmart can be more aerodynamic! (I stopped going there because they are not hiring enough cashiers!)
Thanks...I was thinking it might set up turbulence I could do without. Only 8 more MPG Eh? Lol.
