I always suspected this . . .

What's the old saying? "You can ride your cow to work, but you can't eat your Jeep!" or "You can sleep in your Jeep, but you can't climb rocks with your cow?" Something like that I think.. ?

Lots of things have worse drag coefficients than a cow.

Bird - 0.4
Cow - 0.5
Sphere - 0.5
Convertible car - 0.6-0.7
Truck - 0.8-1.0
Bicycle - 0.9
Person standing - 1.0-1.3

Cows are actually pretty aerodynamic - only slightly less so than birds!

Sounds legit!

Then make Wranglers more aerodynamic— eliminate the iconic folding windshield and slope it way back…. Eliminate the iconic front fenders and grill ( they are working on the grill) and redesign the front end— eliminate the iconic square body, roofline, rear end for an aerodynamic shape— lower them to decrease under vehicle turbulence and they would be aerodynamic. The simple solution is to re-badge the GC as Wrangler and discontinue production.

Damn —I didn’t believe it so I checked. Confirmed !

Portray the inner and outer aerody-moo-mics of your Jeep ?

I'm not drinking much...yet ?

I sure hope you photoshopped that. Where’s the Tequila, I could use a shot after seeing it. ? ? a double

I mean, at some point, the shape doesn't really matter. Here's a list of my past vehicles and their MPG (and other, relevant info):

- 2020 Wrangler diesel - 260hp, 442tq, 25mpg (observed, non-towing, city/hwy combined)
- 2017 Camaro SS - 455hp, 455tq, 13mpg (observed over 3.5 years)
- 2008 Pontiac G8GT - 505rwhp, 550rwtq, 8.7mpg (observed over 4 years post-cam install)
- 2000 Trans Am WS-6 - 17mpg (advertised, combined, before turning into racecar)
- 1995 Camaro - 20mpg (combined, advertised)
- 1966 Mustang GT - 12mpg (just some random internet shit - who really knows)

Conclusion - my Wrangler is the most fuel economic vehicle I have EVER owned!

The seat covers are as is from an Amazon listing... ?

Only thing I did to the moo-Jeep image was blot out the license plate ?

Poor guy picking up his 2028 Wrangler JM at the lot thinking.. "Why in the hell is my new Jeep shaped like a dang cow?? ?

Looks udderly ridiculous ?

I believe the Jeeps drag coefficient is .454

For something to be truly funny there must be an element of truth. So why am I not laughing ?… I could use another one

Cd = 0.454, up next: full plastic under body aero plates.
