Don't tow your car backwards :(

In my second attempt at resurrecting the frankenbeater I ended up breaking down in the middle of the desert on I-5. I was towed on a flatbed backwards...

The car is designed to be aerodynamic in one direction only. Both of the trim pieces around the rear most side windows (sedan, triangles) ripped off the car! One of them is completely gone and the other is snapped in half. I usually don't care about aesthetics but the car looks like crap with these missing.

Hey ciper haven't seen you online in a while. That's odd how those piece flew off :S was the guy doing 300km/h ?! Anyway how did the car die anyway? Timing belt im assuming.

Actually he was only going 55mph!

I started to cover the failure in the second post here http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?t=42516
