I will go on the record that my chrome bumpers do not stop wind noise above 120 MPH. Is it just me?

Over on Facebook "Motorology" someone is claiming the L bumper in front stopped a wind noise / buffeting issue. Sounds like malarkey to me, but I don't have pre-L to make a comparison to. Was this ever a thing ? GD

I always thought the L-bumper was a designer "tip o' the hat" to celebrate the unique look of the duckbill platypus. In addition to eliminating wind noise/buffeting, the L-bumper also serves to function as a link from one front corner to the other so that when the car is involved in a front corner collision, the opposite corner also receives equivalent damage, which is a very clever design characteristic to ensure that the un-crashed corner does not miss out on all the fun.

Isn't wind noise a property of an object's inefficient movement and speed in air and that's why no one never hears a golf ball until it hits you. Speaking about golf balls did any one ever see the Myth Busters episode where they put golf ball dimples on a car and actually made the care more efficient. But who wants to drive around in a car that looks like a golf ball that would be as bad as having s goat for a pet,,, no one wants a goat as a pet. Sent from my iPhone the list.
