Anybody got a wind tunnel?

You already have access to one.
Go to a self service car wash equipped with a high-pressure water nozzle, stand in front of the car and spray down the cars longitudinal axis. Aim down the sides, dead center, as well as dead center moving the nozzle in a 30 degree horizontal arc from dead center.
If one does this on a reasonably still day, one can see how the air will flow over the vehicle. If you take a friend and don't mind getting a bit wet, you can see it from the rear and observe how the airflow detaches from the body.
