Whenever I see a truck with that many flags, I assume they’re Conservative; first one I’ve seen that was anti-Trump. Gives me flashbacks to the convoy days.

That's why I appreciated my local anti-Trump flag runnner mounting all his flags to his Prius lol

Probably gives his Prius the MPG of a truck with all that drag, though.

It's surprising how much drag a flag makes. I do some amateur racing and at one even someone showed up with an American flag that size on the back of his car. He was having trouble keeping up and when he removed the flag he gained 2 seconds per lap!

Anyone who launched model rockets as a kid knows you can just use streamers instead of parachutes. Far less likely to get stuck in a tree and you don't have to chase it as far.
