It is sort of amazing how much that 1.18 inches per side makes a difference, huh?

I too have been fooled by narrow bodies on the parkway (flying by at 80+), especially if they've been lowered. Why do they call them narrow body? There aint nothing narrow about that body.
Now following a 996 this morning on the way to the metro station I thought ...hmm better not post..might start stuff

OK Blue Ocean -
You opened up quite a thread there! But if you really want to know the most noticeable difference, it's in the side skirts - they flare at the bottom, instead of tucking under the doors, the front spoiler vents are different - one vs. three and if you're low enough to see them, there are some small vents under each corner at the front spoiler as well... Sorry, I still don't know how to get photos to display in messages or in my signature!
