I Heart Cars

I’m a huge fan of cars.  My obsession started when I was a kid and my dad used to let me work on his Thunderbird with him.  He kept his car in mint condition and it was in our family until we fell on hard times.  After we sold the Thunderbird, he got an old beater, and we still went to the garage every Saturday and played with that old thing.
 
Now car accessories are still a part of my life.  I always want to find the best and latest in car innovations and I usually want it for my own stock.  Right now I’m working on a Thunderbird that I pulled out of a junk yard.  It isn’t cherry yet, but I don’t know if that is really the point.

Car Spoilers

spoiler.jpgCar spoilers are an automotive aerodynamic device that is placed on high speed vehicles.  When cars run at high-speeds, like anything else at high-speeds, it has the momentum to lift off the ground.  Just think about your favorite Looney Tune running with accelerated momentum. 
 
The car spoiler reduces vehicle instability by decreasing this lift effect.  Car spoilers should not be confused with wings, which actually work by increasing the lift and tries to reduce the drag on the vehicle.  Fiberglass car spoilers are available for those with the need for speed.
