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

The F-4 was a Navy experiment on turning jet fuel into noise and smoke. Flight was an interesting but ultimately useful side effect.

And a fish is better suited to swimming than a submarine. The point is?

Didn't a cow jump over the moon?

So I was told as a child.

I've never heard of a Jeep Wrangler jumping over the moon.

My gym buddy, a mechanical engineer, owns a car wash.

He really appreciates Jeeps.

If you are missing the point, they you are beyond help.

“You’re beyond help.”
Isn’t that a bit strong for a sarcastic comment on an irrelevant matter?

[Tell It Right]

Wasted design. Cows rarely move fast enough to make a difference.

I don't know. Cows rarely have to find shelter for wind.

[cyberaxe]

…yup…

…but it’s a pain to flat tow a cow…

Cow: "Can a Jeep do THIS?"

Sure, but in WWII there weren’t any military cow vehicles in theater.

Recent test?

Anyone's who been in a Jeep in the last 80 years could tell you that a cow, or any animal for that matter is more aerodynamic than a Jeep.

The grill and windshield might was well be two sheets of plywood.

[Beowulf9]

Yeah but the problem is you can’t get a cow to take the expressway. They keep stopping and eating the grass on the side.

but not nearly as fast or fun to ride....not sure which tips easier.

The original air-cooled VW Microbus has a coefficient of drag lower than a 2025 Formula One car.

What’s their point? That we should all ride cows rather than drive Wranglers?

It’s a pity the dinosaurs had to die so this could appear in the Internet.

Good thing I've got a Cherokee.

[oldasrocks]

Wrangler owner here too and I have ridden a cow. I prefer the Jeep.
