Default Uses for the Big Wing

Ok so I get home and my smart a$$ wife says so we found the reason you got a car with a wing that big, so I get this. If only I lived in a state where I could have many wives, NOT

My fiancee always gives me a hard time about different cars I love with big wings. If an bought an STi daily instead of the Focus RS (we share our daily cars) she joked that I had to get wingless so she wouldn't fly away, LOL. She does understand the wing does the opposite of make you fly away, but also thinks it looks silly on the street and generally enjoys making fun of them.

NCM MSP, NCCAR, Roebling Road, Sebring, Daytona .. not all carousels but some mighty good banks on others. Haven't had the ZR1 there yet but the C5Z sure is fun!
