Or be taller. I can see mine just fine.

That is funny as crap because this almost happened to me! (hint - don't do this at 80 mph)

Have your kid or a friend ride in the back seat. I wouldn't try setting the cruise control at 75 and going into the back seat myself. Too dangerous.

Check out your reflection in a shiny car or truck that you overtake.

You can see it in your driver side, side view mirror if you face it right.

1: At standstill, raise spoiler
2: Put your business card under spoiler
3: Lower spoiler
4: Go drive >75 mph
5: Go home.
6: Wait for a phone call from the person driving behind you when your car flashed their car, getting free advertisement in the process.

Only if the card was related to the local strip club.

Is it functional at these speeds .... I doubt it but it is cool to see in the rear view mirror.

I feel like such an old-timer, maybe it's because I am?

As a previous poster stated, if you crack the sunroof he spoiler raises up high enough to be seen in the rear view mirror. I was skeptical when I read that, but it's 100% true.

That's a correct statement. I tried it last nite and was able to see it with the sunroof open.

Thanks
