That would be one hell of a day to go MTB'ing, skateboarding, and snowboarding.

heh, you have one too? I have no problem putting my bike in the back with the seats down, but when I throw my brother's bike in there we have to take apart his bike.


I was just looking at throwing a hitch on it, then getting a rack. I don't care to dirty the inside of my car anymore with two bikes, one is bad enough. Though oddly I'm quite sure I've received a couple odd looks with my "I'd rather be mountain biking" frame from sport chalet

were's the front tire? fork in mount but no tire in sight. also take a look at the placement of the bindings on the boards (me thinky just a poser). what no special space for camelback, boots for boarding and riding.

the car is simply a show car, those guys that do the show circuit just throw that stuff in there to complete the package i dont think they really think about the reality of hauling your gear as well.

My Focus will take 3 bikes in the back if you take both wheels of them
Sadly I dont have a 6 or 8 cylinder double blown motor to play with jsut 170 4banger flavoured horses

Honda element hauls a lot of bikes too. I believe I crammed 2 road bikes, 2 mountain bikes, a frame in a box, tools etc.

davidB, i remove the front wheels in order to fit my bike in the tC. in fact, i pretty much leave the back seats folded down all the time now. i have a blanket and a sheet i lay down to keep the carpet clean...but i've noticed the lock on grips have made a couple small scratches on the side molding next to the cup holder.
