W T F is a **** jockey? haha. And don't say someone who puts his spoiler out at 5mph in the city. I think we call them Dick Heads in the UK. So it's ok to have a fixed spoiler on your car to pose through the city but not to push the button by your left foot and pose that way... I don't know about you young modifying fellows.

No worries, we still remain in the ultra- category.

I cant believe people havent heard that term before... lol

From the Urban Dictionary "Someone who bounces up and down on a ***** with similar enthusiasm of that of a jockey riding a horse".

This forum gets more interesting by the post...**** jockey - too funny. I saw this term thrown around in a couple threads last night and wondered what it meant. I guess I'm with the 36+ crowd on the spoiler in the city, both because spoiler up in city is just posing...and because I am over 36.

First, "**** Jockey" ...AWESOME! Well played, sir.

Second, it's your/their car, do whatever the eff you want to do with it, but as a personal preference not anything I would do with mine.

To get a little more scientific about the issue. Can a Durametric read the engine compartment temp? If so has anyone taken the readings with the spoiler in the up and down positions?
