RE: mudflaps inquiry

[Anton Gaidos III <anton_gaidos_iii@firepower.com>]

The 85 urQ I just bought has the Audi mudflaps. I never enquired about
their origin but they look cool.
I have wondered about the aerodynamic drag of mud flaps but in miles per
gallon/ kilometers per liter
I supposed it is insignificant for my application.

Still amazed the Daytona 500 was so GOOD!
