Back in the 70's it was rumored that stripes such as those shown would make a car at least 10 mph faster than those without.
I'm not sure now if that was only in the mind of the owner.

Hmmmmm. I wonder if anyone has ever put stripes across the vehicle and if the analysis shows they slow the vehicle?
