[DeTomaso] Air to engine discussion

A while back I messed around with some yarn and my gopro just to see.
I don't know if this helps figure anything out short of just trying it.
There were some tendencies I saw with the tufts going upwards slightly
but no vacuum really noticed. This video is shot between 0-120mph.
It was a liitle boring so I added tunes and wrote some corny stuff which
makes little sense now.
Might be enlightening and/or entertaining for some.
