Man am i glad i looked at this thread ! I went to the saris site someone linked to and found i can get a small simple rack that just fits right on the rear trunk lid and can be removed simply. It holds 2 bikes and is only something like $79 list !
When i decided to get into MTbiking and bought my stumpjumper a few days ago, i was worried about the hassle of fitting it in my car. Turns out it's a major headache. This rack will be a real time and trouble-saver, not to mention i can tote my bike and my buddy's so that he won't have to drive every time. (he has a truck, i have a civic)
Thanks for the info !!
