    I think it is a bench rather than an aero device

    Dave,

    I wish. But we always have time for a little humor.

    Have fun.

    Don't know about the spoiler, but the tow hook looks legit...

    First, that's the Pinto model! Dufus mounted it on the wrong car! You can tell because it's: A - Small, and B- pressure treated...the PT stuff is slkower to ignite...

    And he's not only dumb, but lazy...the kit he got clearly requires significant sanding of the leading edges...not done on this install. tch, tch, tch....

    Not to mention that it is set to lift the rear end. Perhaps he is just trying to reduce the load on the may-pops.

    Damn. That could be the ultimate IT car. Nobody would get by that car that they didn't want to let by. <evil grin>

    That's just an optical illusion. It appears that way because in his technical superiority, he was intelligent enough to fit larger tires on the rear - so it would be faster because it was always going downhill.

    Silly boys, you got it all wrong - look at the snow on the ground. Being from the SE I know this is to tie a rope to and pull the young'ins around on a car hood.

    Redneck + snow = hey ya'll watch this.

    Personally, I would allow - nay, encourage - any and all of my competitors to use one of these on their cars.

    I'll buy the woo...uh, composite material.

    Definitely not an eastern model - they are all crushed. Western for sure eh? Probably from Regina or Saskatoon, complete with the optional "rear window automatic aero snow removal" unit. Optional and pretty common at the time, mostly installed on Canadian models. Doubles as a support device when being dragged off the highway by the tow truck (on its roof of course).

    It wouldn't make a very good IT car, because of the factory installed chip-set that makes the car automatically move off the racing line when being lapped by an Import.

    If they are going to classiy "Bluesmobile" material in IT, I am going to have to reconsider moving to Spec Miata....
