Here be spoilers
January 10th 2008 09:24
One of the odd things about modern cars is that after having paid good money for one of them, the customer then goes out and adds a car spoiler to it. The word itself seems ironic, as if it meant the owner was ‘spoiling’ his vehicle by sticking things on it.
Spoilers come in all shapes and sizes, apparently. As I’ve just learned. One good thing about writing posts like this is that you come across information which adds to the sum total of your trivia baggage.
There are factory style spoilers, custom spoilers, lip spoilers, rear deck spoilers and rear roof wings. I like the idea of a lip spoiler, myself. It conjures up a picture of that crazy character in the cartoon, Zits, who has all manner of paraphernalia hanging from his body, but most of all inside and around his mouth.
Personally having something stuck in my tongue or in my lip would drive me mad. I have a dental plate and that’s bad enough – in fact when I first began to wear it, it used to make me feel as though I was going to vomit.
However, back to lip spoilers as the words are generally used. On the site where I got my information about spoilers – and they had some great pictures too – there’s a line that kind of stuck in my lip: These wings are specially designed for you [sic] car, truck or SUV, so it [sic] matches the contours of the body line perfectly for a clean factory like appearance.
Don’t you wish people would proof-read their website content before they published it?
