Hope he know’s what his clearance is so he won’t try to pull in to something like a multi level parking garage or some thing similar or a shop don’t try to put it a lift.

I suppose he might be serious, but something that outrageous leads me to believe the owner is just having a little fun. Judging by the way the spoiler looks, I’d bet it unbolts quickly and is replaced by a more normal version.

At least the paint color almost matches. Wondering which will help more, the weight of the spoiler or the aerodynamics.

Maybe the tall spoiler is there to prevent over-aggressive wheelies 😉

But then the owner may be taking advantage of a tail wind. I’m sure there is a scientific, practical answer to that body work

I believe it is supposed to look like Wingo from the Cars movie-

Besides drag it spoils several things from my point of view. Gag me! The color doesn’t even match.

All I can think when I see something like that on the road is, _“idiot!”_ Now that I took this click bait I can’t unsee it. I’m embarrassed for that guy.

Some years ago just before the Smart Car was unleashed on the market I was on I-35 south of Fort Worth, TX and saw something strange in the distance approaching. Come to find out it was a test bed Smart Car for God knows what.

It was painted lemon yellow and bright blue with a massive wing on the back. This wing looked like something off of a Top Fuel dragster. It stuck way above the roof and stuck out a foot on each side. Absolutely grotesque. There was lettering in one of the yellow color bands but I could not make out what it said.  
It looked like a death trap to me with the thought of wind gusts from a semi catching that wing.
