It's the aerodynamics of a Callaway Aerowagen, without paying $144,000.

Reminds me of the mouth opening of the monster that Arnold fought up close and personal in The Predator.

Corvettes are beautiful cars. Corvette lovers often have the most atrocious taste.

It can make things... interesting.

It's kind of like having trump in the white house. Similar equation and potential for disaster at every turn, once in a while something good happens.

The owner is a professional comedian and he enjoys making people laugh. Why else would someone put that thing on their car?

A joke is funny only if you get it.

I think that it really may be on backwards....the mounting doesn't even match up the way it is now.

I hope someone who has a competent education in the field of engineering takes a look at this and inspects the reasoning behind it. Anyone here want to tackle it? Or are we all just so full of hatred that curiosity has left the building?
How about this....

Put that spoiler on your car and post a picture here since you think it’s so great.

Used to apply more down force to the rear wheels when driving in reverse. I get it.

I'm thinking the spoiler was designed in NJ by someone smoking illegal pot and sold to someone in CO smoking legal pot. Of course, I'm just joking here. Whatever floats his or her boat but I'm sure it does draw even more attention to the car.
