It's a scientific fact! Computational Fluid Dynamics has proven that a cow is actually more aerodynamic than a jeep wrangler.

Can a Jeep wrangle a cow?
Yeah but... Everything’s more aerodynamic than a Jeep Wrangler.
Yeah, just after he delivers the high-level universal income he’s promising now.
Some kind of AI sez:
“The statement is false. The original air-cooled Volkswagen Type 2 (Microbus) has a drag coefficient ($C_d$) of approximately 0.44, while Formula One cars have drag coefficients ranging from 0.7 to 1.1 depending on the aerodynamic setup.
Although F1 cars generate significant downforce, their high drag coefficients mean they are far less aerodynamically efficient in terms of pure air resistance than the Microbus. The Microbus’s $C_d$ of 0.44 is actually lower than that of the original Beetle ($0.48$) and comparable to many modern SUVs, but it remains significantly lower than the values associated with open-wheel race cars. “
0.4 hasn’t been all that great for a hundirt years.
Late night threads not dissapointing.
Then there was the 1930s (yes, 1930s) German Schlörwagen (also known as the "Pillbug" or "wing on wheels"). A 1939 German prototype had the lowest drag coefficient of any car from the 1930s at approximately 0.186 (full-size motorized version; scale models tested as low as 0.113–0.15).
The teardrop-shaped, highly streamlined design—built on a Mercedes-Benz 170H chassis with an aluminum body—represented the pinnacle of 1930s aerodynamic research. It was developed by engineer Karl Schlör at the Aerodynamische Versuchsanstalt (AVA) in Göttingen, drawing heavily from aircraft and airship principles. It could seat up to seven people yet achieved efficiency comparable to (or better than) many modern production cars like the Volkswagen XL1. 
It’s a good one so far!
A friend of mine went desert running in his CJ with his son in Arizona. They decided to take it through a car wash.
No top or doors. He later told me that it was a painful experience.
What is that, Artemis X?
The egg shape made cars ugly, boring and stupid looking all to gain 1 MPG. Yuk.
If it includes the self-barbecuing feature, yes. Bring your own dry rub.
“…ugly, boring and stupid looking all to gain 1 MPG”
All thanks to our wonderful government that wants us to save a few bucks.
Both are easy to tip over cow tipping was a fun thing for teenagers in the 50’ and 60’s.
Cars used to be fun and symbolized freedom. Now they are egg shaped appliances.
“Elon Musk’s Tesla Roadster is an electric sports car that served as the dummy payload for the February 2018 Falcon Heavy test flight and became an artificial satellite of the Sun.
A mannequin in a spacesuit, dubbed “Starman”, occupies the driver’s seat.
The car and rocket are products of Tesla and SpaceX, respectively, both companies headed by Elon Musk.[5]
The 2010 Roadster is personally owned by and previously used by Musk for commuting to work.[2] It is the first production car launched into space.
