I have always been curious about the love affair some people..... OK, young guys..... have with the biggest waste of money accessory you can buy for a car - the spoiler.I'm not talking about the little cosmetic ones - sometimes they add a little fun to the look of the vehicle (and no..... I don't have one on my TSX). I'm talking about the protuberant, carbon fibre flight control that probably costs more than the car's stereo system and is as aesthetically pleasing as an anvil bolted to the hood. Spoilers do work...... oh yeah.... when you're travelling at 130mph! But for your typical daily commute, it's as useless as putting wings on a dog. I especially laugh when I see one of these monster spoilers on a little Dodge Neon or any other car that could barely break the speed limit. There's just... no.... point.
I know it's a question of personal preference, but I have to tell ya, I think they look stupid. Sorry guys.
Honourable mention goes to the modified exhaust. Funny. Ineffective. Annoying.

Karl, I hope you aren't adding vans with spoilers to the not-cool list; after all, what could be cooler than the A-team van.
I have nothing against cosmetic spoilers. I'm referring to the kind the size of Formula One spoilers.
I would never knowingly disparage the A-Team's wheels.
I always think of spoilers as a handle. That way when I pick up that teensy car I can dangle it from my pinky.
