Plus, don't those integral un-removable roof racks on so many vehicles cause wind drag and extra fuel use?<br></div><div class="ydp4e3dbd61yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:16px;">* And what's the deal with those...what are they called?...air foil wind deflector flap panel things...that also make it harder to remove snow from roofs/trunks...or even wash the car?</div><div class="ydp4e3dbd61yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:16px;">* Is it that with a plethora of Big Cars...for safety as some feel..all that wind deflection and sloped front ends are need to make fuel efficiency a little better? A smaller car would be more fuel efficient with or without down-sloped front ends.<br></div><div class="ydp4e3dbd61yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:16px;">* Isn't a smaller car safer by not being such a big target, and easier to move, etc.?</div><div class="ydp4e3dbd61yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:16px;">* Dark and dull-colored cars, so popular now, are more difficult to see in the dark...which is not a safety feature. Plus, how difficult is it to see your bland common-"colored" car in a parking lot? I can spot my yellow '71 Squareback a mile away. <br></div><div class="ydp4e3dbd61yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:16px;"><br></div><div class="ydp4e3dbd61yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:16px;">PS: Anyone want a '71 yellow T-3? On the market soon, with a ton of parts besides. I'm just a tad beyond age for restoring it and all.<br></div><div class="ydp4e3dbd61yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:16px;"><br></div><div class="ydp4e3dbd61yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:16px;"><br></div></body></html>
