watching the walking dead marathon, there's an ad for the new dodge ram truck with "air suspension" that raises and lowers the truck. it raises the truck to clear obstacles and lowers the truck to "decrease drag"...
really? does a monster 4x4 pickup truck travel at such high speed it needs to worry about drag from wind resistance? i thought spoilers on regular street cars was asinine, but this takes the cake!

That will be usefull for all the dumbfuck redenecks that drive them like they are a Ferrari at 2x the speed limit in town.
Because they sure as shit dont ever haul anything in them with their 26" wheels, truck nuts, browning stickers, and custom painted tonneau covers.

Quoted: stupid goddamned idea. In-before-the-owners-whine-about-maintenance-issues If you want a truck, get a fucking truck. Carry shit in it. Use it like a truck. If you want a fucking douchemobile, get a fucking prius. Want better fuel mileage? See above. If it gets 3 MPG better mileage, it is worth it. |

Actually, most of your engine's power is used overcoming drag. So it *could* help fuel economy, if just a bit. |
