    Zee feezix! I would not expect it to affect overall aero either way due to it being below the roofline, but who knows!

    It's going to affect how the air behaves when it leaves the cab roof. It will also change what is happening at the rear of the bed.

    I've noticed when driving small convertibles - when i'm behind an 'aerodynamic' vehicle I get a lot of turbulence. I call that dirty air.
    When I'm behind big bricks, the air is much smoother & less turbulent. I'd guess after the size of the whole the other vehicle is punching in the air, that how it comes off the vehicle is a big part of what I'm experiencing behind them.

    On a motorcycle you can really feel the bow-wave of air in front of a big rig, if you're trying to get through it passing them, or if it's giving you a nudge when they pass you.

    My phone is oddly silent. Probably because I have it turned off. :anonymous:

    Morning all. happy leap day. Took monday and tuesday off. right back at it yesterday. Tried to take yesterday off so I could have a 3rd day to recuperate but one of the other employees called out - and we are already short staffed. guess that leaves me lol; the joys of being a manager. I am however feeling better, still have an absolute slammer of a headache which seems to not go away.

    @Cativelense Nuno, hope you get over the VID quick.

    I'm so tempted to phone in leap day today. I'm on salary and it's not like I get an extra day of money today compared to the other non-leap years.
