In a sense I understand your question, but this is quite a harsh indictment for some dude who was simply operating a feature that is standard on any non GT/TT 997. You used the word practical - since when are aftermarket wheels that perform no better or weigh no less that factory wheels practical? How about big honkin wings on cars that weren't designed for them, or GT3 front bumpers on a Carrera S, or S tips on a non S car, etc, etc.? While this guy driving around with his factory spoiler up at 30mph might not qualify him as the most unaffected 997 owner around, surely he is no more a poseur than the hordes of 997 owners who begin bastardizing their cars beyond recognition as soon as they get their hands on them. Unfortunately, lots of folks acquire these cars more for the impact they might have on others than on themselves, and they often ruin wonderful cars in the process, going to great lenghts to stand out.

 

I wonder what kind of watch he wears?

 

Anytime my wife rides with me she hits the spoiler button. Personally, I think it looks better down.

 

maybe he thinks it looks cooler? who honestly cares?

personally, i think the car looks better with the spoiler down.

 

LOL This trumps the foglights

 

MartyB: Man ............You hit it right on the head.

 

My wife likes the spoiler raised also.

I like the spoiler better down, but when she drives it if it keeps her happy and she thinks it looks better to raise the spoiler so be it.

She wants me to buy a fixed wing, but the car cost me enough already, I don't need to spend more on add-ons.

As for the original poster, who cares, if he likes the spoiler up, he paid for the ride, let him play.
Would you tell my wife she is overcompensating for sexual incompetence?



Maybe that was why she liked driving my previous 505hp Z06?

Just breaking your *****!!!

Your a very lucky man Howard!

 

Really nice car you got there.

 

By the way, my wife always likes my spoiler in the up position. (insert drum effect here)

Thank you and good night. Don't forget to tip the waitress on the way out.

 

I sure am, believe me, nobody else would put up with my sh-t

I was going to say the same thing, but my wife was nearby

My car has a spoiler?

 

In case you are not kidding, yes it does.

It automatically comes up at speeds over 50mph or you can manually raise it with the button on the lower left.

Thanks Howard, nice pics (car too); I was kidding though.

Maybe the guy had it up by mistake and was not trying to make any type of statement at all? And do you really think leaving it up after a drive facilitates cooling?

 

Im not sure but I do it anyway after a hard drive. I figure all that heat rising on my paint without a cool breeze to mitigate the temp cant be good.
