I've been doing this, too. It seems to be helping, but I haven't noticed a drastic difference.

 

Oh, we've tried this little game all over the country. We used to drive a VW bus. It brings out the tailgater in everyone.


Also, we used to drive a '93 Suzuki Sidekick. It's a weird world, no? It was named What's-Her-Face Chuggables.
We got rid of WHF after all of the following became problems:

1) Shifting into reverse was very difficult when temperatures were below 32 degrees F
2) Both rear passenger doors stopped opening
3) Not one, but two stereos were stolen out of it
4) Moisture got inside the front door panel, causing the passenger door to become either unopenable or uncloseable during the winter -- the latch would freeze in its position and not budge until the car heated up enough to thaw it. So we took many drives during which I was clinging to the door handle and trying to hold it closed. Brr. The solution in the end was for me to enter through the driver's side door and clamber across the front of the car for every journey.

5) The heater got latte milk in it, and blew the smell of sour milk out along with the heat.

6) The heat stopped heating us in midwinter.

7) The car decided it only liked turning left about 75% of the time that we steered to the left. Sometimes it just wouldn't. (At this point we changed its name to Derek Zoolander.
)
8) The driver's side door developed the same problem as the passenger door, which meant that both of us could only enter the car through the tailgate.


I think Sidekicks like it better in Florida.
