Just my .02

I completely agree with both points. I don't think spoilers look good on the Boxster, but this one isn't too bad. The supports are way too close together, though.

I saw this on the way to work today and thought of this thread.


Accords are notorious for there lack of down force on those rear wheels, despite the fact that they're front wheel drive.


And on the way home I saw this and also thought of this thread.


This is what I predict will happen at speed.

Side note: I like my phone's camera. I used to be anti-camera-phone, but I've converted.

I think it look squite good. Not sure I would buy one though. I am yet to find one I really like. The Manthey "bi-plane" spoiler for the Cayman S is awesome but they dont do one for the 986

2 things:
First, I can stare at your signature for hours.
Second, the particular stretch of highway in the Eclipse photo is 635 (or "the 635" as you call it) -specifically, Farmers Branch. That town LOVES to write tickets. It makes me sick. Seems likely that you could have been pulled over there. I know I have.

per majority opinion the mounts have been move further apart and they have also been streamlined a bit as well

Forgive my posting ignorance, but how did you get the Top Gear R8 vs 911 clip below your post?

I have that on DVR and just love that clip.
