They do look like snowplows though...and they look a bit wrong with the tall narrow rear.

The new spoilers remind me of some of the wild and wonderful wings that appeared on F1 cars about 35 years ago when they were first trying to harness aero down force. I think it was about the same time that they were running huge rear tires and smaller front tires.

One of the big complaints that the NASCAR fans come up with is the lack of very tight finishes in F1. I reply that F1 would also have close finishes if they always made sure that they had the safety car on the track with 2 or 3 laps to go.

Smile Mark......

..I look back not-so-fondly at getting maced by the Mountour (Sp?) Falls rent-a-cops during the afore-mentioned Annual Sh*t-house fires. Maybe I oughta send youse the prints of Black Jack and Dan-----then you can post them! I have about exhausted my compootah skills just writing this! (Ask Janie Carter or Ron 61 how bad it REALLY is!).

Since I started this thread I think I can temporarily highjack it!? A million years ago, I ran the student part of the Jason Project (Bob "Titanic") Ballard's show at St. Catherine's looking at the wrecks of the Hamilton and the Scourge. In gathering the kids, we would drive the vans to Buffler Airport and then take the kids to Niagara Falls on the way back to St. Cath's. At the end of two weeks, we'd been to Niagara Falls, the viewing-towers, the Gorge, etc. perhaps 22+ times. We even stood on that tiny island leading toward the Canadian Falls----no fences, nuttin'!!! Roaring torrent right at our toes! Lovely country, but I think I've seen enuff, for a while. Ar-ar-ar-ar.
