Outside the box

Now we need to think outside of the box and here are a few starting points.

Think about the aerodynamics of the autos and trucks we drive. Instead of keeping the car on the road or at least the weight is there another way. Can an aerodynamic engineer or aviation engineer come up with a way to reduce the weight of the vehicle by using the passing air in a similar way that an airplane uses the air for lift?

Okay mechanical engineers, can the present automobile/truck suspension
handle the subtraction of the weight? We do not want to sacrifice safety, but with computers and software engineering or new software, can we use lift to reduce the weight of our vehicles?

This would not only benefit the cars improve their mileage, but also improve the performance of the hybrid vehicles or electric vehicles. Think about how you could change the vehicle we drive if we used lift?

Car enthusiasts, hot-rodders, performance buffs, would making your car anywhere from 100 pounds to a thousand pounds enhance their performance.
