Spoilers - no longer just for down-force
My wife drove my car to work yesterday while hers was in the shop. Today she tells me she can't find her wallet and the last place she used it was at the gas station last night. Searched the car, didn't find it. Not until I went to check the trunk did I notice this...

Made it all the way home with the wallet wedged in there.

Right? For once I have to thank slow *** Chicago rush hour traffic. If she had made a turn at speed I think it would have been gone. It wasn't wedged in all that hard. (And yes, that's what she said)

Very luck! What did your wife say after you told her the wallet was wedged under the spoiler?

Needless to say, she was quite relieved. We both started laughing when I texted her the photo.
