Spoilers --- what the????

I did a search on "ugly spoilers" and came up with so many pictures, I couldn't choose which one to put on here! So I decided to put a few, just to show the ridiculous-ness of these hideous things. Let me just check, here, before I go on. What is the purpose of a spoiler? Is it not to give you more traction at high speeds? Is it not to force the rear of your vehicle down to the ground further, creating a more solid grip between tire and pavement? Am I out to lunch, or is this not what a spoiler does? So why the heck do people put these monstrosity's on Cavaliers, Grand Ams, or Sunfires? These cars couldn't do 150km/h without falling apart. Before then, do you really believe that they're going to have problems with rear wheel traction? What the........?

Why do people think these things look good??? They probably decrease the performance of the cars! Oh, but I guess if these guys had any idea what performance actually was, they'd throw those crap fins as far as they could.

Oh! And how about spoilers on trucks now? Sure, a little extra traction on the rear wheels could be beneficial at times. But, honestly, there's a point where "a little extra traction" (translation: Probably not even noticeable) gets trumped by "that's butt ugly"! Hey, its a flippin' TRUCK people! Give your head a shake! I'm not saying there's not performance trucks out there. On those trucks, well, its still stinkin' ugly, but at least I can maybe see the reasoning behind it. But the majority of these brainiacs are putting them on their regular 1/2 tons! Nice. Try loading something into the back, you idiots. Say, like, a washer. What good is a truck if it can't be used as a truck?

You know what? I have a Play Station 1 (yeah, I know, I'm up there!). Guess what, it can play CD's! Wow. Do I use it to play CD's? Heck NO! Its the stupidest CD player I've ever seen. That's why I have a CD player. But, hey, it does a heck of a job playing Grand Turismo 2. Get my point? A truck is made for being a truck. If you want a car, buy a car! Don't waste and embarass that poor Chev by succombing it to such cruelty.
