Why cant we design a car that has a upward lift, reducing friction on car tires, increasing mileage?

Might be a silly question but still thought would ask By upward lift I mean, the car just glides on the road at about 1-2 inches when travelling at speeds of over 80-90 miles per hour How much will be the impact on stbility of the car? Is it impossible to design such cars ?

it would not be difficult to design lift properties into automobiles. however; this would be counter productive. an auto is meant to function safely in two dimensions. it relies on traction and adherence to road surfaces to do so. since you cannot predict wind velocity or direction while driving on our nations streets and highways you cannot predict its affect on a moving vehicle ( any car can lift under the right circumstances. the problem becomes how do you control where it lands if it lifts more than you anticipate). the flying, skidding, and drifting you see in auto commercials is not realistic and very few of us could afford the resulting insurance hike.

All the states have DMV reciprocity. So if he shows up at the department office in Virginia and requests the new license, VA will know in an instant that he's under suspension.

Lift would take away traction and handling. That is exactly opposite of what you want. You need the contact patch of the tires (for traction widerbetter) If you look at any performance car including racing, they are looking for down force at high speeds. Lift without large stabilizing wings like an airplane would result in complete lack of control. Passenger cars from the early sixties experienced this when the speed began increasing, weight decreased and aerodynamics had not been fully explored for cars. This is where spoilers came in. Great thought but the world is still not ready for flying cars!

At that speed, you want more weight on the tires, otherwise you can lose controll very easily. As far as creating the upward lift, you would be using some sort of air dam or other body modification to create that lift. To create the lift, you would be using your cars forward speed to build up that cusion of air, and that would require power. There is a point where your tires would no longer be able to put enough power to the ground (due to reduced contact patch/reduced friction) from the lift, and you would spin out. Also, the energy to create the lift needs to come from somewhere, in this case your engine, and it would not do your mileage any favors.

Yes it will carry over. The state of Virginia can look this information up in the computer system with his SSN. Some states issue driver's licenses based on your SSN. California assigns you a seperate license number starting with a letter of the alphabet. He also has to notify his ex-wife or ex-girlfriend of his intentions to move out of state. If he moves without notifying her by certified mail, she can should file an injuction to have him arrested for skipping the state to avoid payments on court-ordered child support. My son's father moved 2 years ago without notifying me. I found out after SSI contacted him about not protecting his son on the SSI claim. I was pressing fraud charges they were dropped, pending he'd add our son to the claim. He's now serving 4 years in a Washington state prison, but probably will only serve 1-2, with time off for good behavior for failure to properly notify the custodial parent of his intention subsequent move out of state. I wouldn't have objected to the move at all, had he told me. Since he didn't, I pushed for the jail time on the moving. He figured since we hadn't gotten married, he didn't have to bother (we were engaged to be married when I got pregnant had my son). Be careful who you're friends with, my dear. Men that have their license suspended for non child support payments are bad news. It's usually a way to get back at the ex for one reason or another that trickles down to the child(ren). If you think he wouldn't do that to you, think again. Start rethinking your friendship with this man make some drastic changes to get him out of your life.
