Just got a '99 w/60K on it. very psyched about my new toy! Have a question that my wife brought up. Not really a big deal but... While you are driving how do you know that the spoiler is deployed? I was explaining to her how it works and she said,"how do you know it went up when it's supposed to?" Couldn't answer that. You can't see it in the rear view or side mirrors. Barring standing up in my seat and twisting around (which would neccesitate a whole new driving technique) how can you tell?

I am sure I'll get a hard time for the question but, as I said, it'll be the first of many I am sure.
