Attenion rocket scientists: My SUV has a rear spoiler. The spoiler is ass ugly and I want to remove it. I also have lots of horsepower and can easily go over 100mph. However I hardly ever drive faster than 80mph.

Is there a safety issue if I remove the spoiler? Will I really lose control of my rear end easier without the spoiler? I thought you had to be driving racecar fast for these things to have any noticeable effect.

American SUV's have control over the rear end?

Don't remove it! The spoiler is the only thing keeping you on the ground at 80 MPH!

A significant effect can be felt at 25 mph. It's all about the angle/size of the spoiler. Odds are yours is cosmetic. A picture of the spoiler is needed. Go to howstuffworks.com and you should probably be able to figure out how it works.

"LOL"

I'm sure the spoiler is purely cosmetic on your hog.

Boris,
you better start fishing the salt. How much longer are you going to be able to run to the sierras to fish, driving that thing?

Bro I can't even catch a brown trout. I'd probably just poke my eye out if I hit the salt water with a fly rod.
