And the irony, I remember years ago there were wind tunnel test that stated the Pinto was more aerodynamic backwards than forward.  Anyone remember the Bill Cosby commercials where there were a series of huge fans blowing sideways as Pinto's drove by to illustrate that the "wrap-around sides" made it a stable car in high winds.  That aspect was a real knock on small cars at the time.  So, should you spin sideways in your Pinto don't expect wind resistance to slow you down much!
