I'm thinking that you were just chit-chatting about racks rather than actually buying a $500.00 roof rack system. I've found that LBS guys are far less persnickety about pronouncation when you're holding your credit card in your hand. I know back in my LBS days I would not only have been glad to sell you a "ThEEool" rack but I would have even installed it on your "SOB".
