I was driving back to college from home, and it was raining out. I noticed that the back glass kept dry even in the heavey rain. This just made me curious to see a wind chart for the celica. It's a hachback with a wing. Any have this? And I was also wondering how functional this wing really is? Any know? Thanks.

the spoiler has something to do with this.. (sorry for the bad drawing.)

the car on the top has a spoiler.. and the car at the bottom doesnt..

As you can see.. the spoiler breaks the air further away from the end of the car. So the vortex ( swirly air) starts spining farther away from the car. The faster the air moves (more swirly) the more suction or drag it will create.
