1) yes, I constantly have to check my car
2) no, leave the noobs alone
3) maybe, however I am just a sarcastic old fart
4) I only want your feedback if you agree with me

5) yes, if done incorrectly.
6) no, if done correctly.

To take this seriously:
People can like what they like and are free to do whatever they want to their cars, but when you show something off on the internet you can't get upset if people don't like it, especially if you are looking for "constructive criticism". Also, there are some things that are just objectively bad, usually stemming from laziness or lack of patience to be able to afford to do things "the right way". Some people just like to mod anything on their car as fast as possible just for the sake of modification, 9 out of 10 times this will lead to subpar results.

Is the poll on things that are ruining our cars fad ruining our cars?

Note that "poll on things that are ruining our cars" makes a great acronym: POTTAROC

You should probably start a poll on this.

Edit: D'oh! Someone already did.

Yes, but without the actual poll!

No one uses actual wind tunnels these days, not even the car manufacturers(who would be using stock tires). I use a suite of software that simulates a real wind tunnel to 100% accuracy but with more detailed data than a real tunnel.

There are a few different programs out there. I use Autodesk Flowdesign. And trust me, none of them are cheap kid.

Not even through the first page and we have this gem.

It's called bad taste plain and simple.

In Chinese it's called draw a snake and add feet to it.
