<VV> Comfort Speeds

I strongly disagree.

I was uncomfortable every time I passed a truck at highway speeds and always 
had some noticeable buffeting along with sideways drift - UNTIL I installed 
a front spoiler (air dam?) on my '65 (car).  After that, my highway speeds 
are faster, smoother, and very little buffeting past a truck with almost no 
side drift - unless there is already a strong (over 30 mph cross wind). 
Granted, there is still some - but SO minimized from what it used to be that 
I'll not have a LM (anyway) without one.  Only early I ever had is the 
Rampside.  Even the Rampside has one - but it came that way, so I don't know 
what it would be like without.  I DO know that it is a bit like driving a 
billboard on a windy day, so I can only imagine what it might be otherwise.

Both vehicles are properly aligned and with appropriate tires.

Respectfully...
