A guy I know just bought a Civic. Not sure what year but its a recent one, non-Si, manual. He keeps telling me that it has "good pickup" and then came the kicker: he told me that he was a little disappointed that it didn't come with a spoiler. When I mentioned that spoilers are absolutely useless, he mentioned improved cornering because there was more air pushing down on the wheels. I responded by specifying that the spoiler would (well, if it was at all functional and not just a tacky piece of plastic) push down on the back wheels of a front wheel drive car. He was surprised and asked if race cars were "back wheel drive".
Sometimes I forget that not everyone knows basic things about cars.
On a side note, my dad's car got rear-ended once. The shop put on the first trunk lid they could find, apparently, because it had a spoiler on it. My dad refused to pay them until they took the spoiler off
