Default Why?? (have the rear spoiler up - rv)
Why would someone driving in traffic which moves at about 30 mph, in an ambient temperature of approx. 25F, have the rear spoiler up? I've seen this car a couple of times, same location on Lake Shore Drive with the wing up. It's a C2S/C4S and also has a bee sting aerial. Does this guy have erectile inadequacies and a need to compensate? Or am I missing something much more practical?

Sometimes I put my spoiler up just for fun. It's nice to be able to controll the position. No big deal.

Wow, he gets it up in 25F? Guess no George Kostanza "shrinkage" for this guy. I'm duly impressed.

Maybe because he heard this forum was quiet and wanted to help generate some threads that were not started by noobs?

I dont get it. Ill put mine up to help cool the engine down when I pull into the garage but other than that I leave it to the automatic sensors.

Maybe he just thinks HIS car looks better with the spoiler up, dont think that really qualifies as showing off or anything else for that matter. I dont get your concern in the first place.
