I always get a kick out of seeing a standard sedan type car that has no modifications visible to it whatsoever apart from a giant ridiculous spoiler. Maybe the owner worked at an auto mod store and got a sweet deal on it? Maybe it’s all that was left from the previous car after a racing accident. It’s a reminder of a previous life.
This is the single greatest thing you’ve ever done. Congratulations, man. I applaud you.
LIMA OSCAR LIMA!
My previous car had a factory-fit but pretty much pointless spoiler on its hatch lid… it was front-wheel-drive and had an absolute Vmax of about 125mph. The wing didn’t do anything I could see other than restrict rear visibility and reduce fuel economy. But, I didn’t care much. The car was a cheap, 10-year-old stopgap and it was sometimes handy for opening the hatch when the rest of it was dirty, or resting a drinks can on when working on it.
Then I saw another one much the same but without the spoiler and realised what a ridiculous mess of a design it actually had.
With spoiler: Looked good. Sporty and well balanced. A bit like a fancy running shoe.
Without spoiler: Blobular mess.
Utterly bizarre. The wing was nothing more than a styling accessory. BUT A VERY NECESSARY ONE.
