Folding spoiler question

I often pull the wing up when I need to open the hatch with the key. It's just a lot easier. At $428 each, maybe I don't want to wear it out.
Although, that would just mean I'd need to get a GTS style, body color matched fixed wing, right?

All you have to do is lock the doors from the inside, open the glove box twice, while pressing the AC button and scream "hot damn" and the covers slide back and the buttons are exposed.
The left hand button flips the rear of the spoiler up to expose a solid rocket booster that would propel the car to 200+MPH for a period of 10 seconds. There are only 9 available so you must use them sparingly during a race and make sure it's in the back field so the judges don't see you using them.
If the boosters don't give you enough of a lead or the track is too short to use a 10 second boost then you use the right hand button. Press it and the spoiler flips up again and fires an invisible dart into the front, driver's side tire. An infrared sensor combined with laser technology aims the dart precisely as not to injure a spectator. This feature is also useful on LA highways when the guy behind you gets ticked off and sticks his pistol out the window.
The "flip up" spoiler was discontinued due to profitability, or lack thereof. You see, the only place to store the 9 solid boosters and 28 invisible darts was the spare tire area. Since you could not have a spare, they had to put a top on the area that matched the rest of the floor so it was not noticable and was strong enough to keep you from slamming things on top of the rocket boosters. To keep you from having any problems on the road, they put everlasting self-inflating ZZ-Top rated tires so you never had to worry about a flat. Since it was super-secret and the cost could not be passed into the sales price it was not profitable so Porsche dropped it after the '87 model.
Now don't you wish you had one?
