I seen that episode of mythbusters a few weeks ago and was like WTF!?!? But remember anyone wanting to attempt this modification, you must make the dents clean and round no simple hammer strikes and you must do them in a golf ball stlye formation LOL!!! :D please anyone who does this let us know how your gas mileage increases so all the people complaining about poor MPGs can know what weight sledgehammer will suffice their gas mileage

Maybe we could use a CNC program. Keep it high tech.
And maybe if we put feathers in the rear, it will go like an arrow?
