PUT YOUR DOORS UP!


Ugh, one of my biggest pet peeves, luckily, isn't that obvious here in LA. But lately their a surge of ignorance in the city. I mean, more then usual. Okay, what's up with people who put their truck bed door down? I know you people think that it lets the air flow better, allowing the air to glide through the truck, but you're wrong. Aerodynamically you're wrong. Truck beds are made with the design to decrease airflow into the bed. Air swirls around , creating a field, allowing the excess air to glide off. By taking the door down you break that air swirl up and make the air push on the bed harder, getting you worse gas mileage. I doubt any of you who read this drive a truck, or are stupid enough to think the car manufacturers never thought about aerodynamics and you're the genius who realized you could open the door to help it out. Idiots. Put your doors up!
