I don't always ride to the Saturday club rides (14 miles one way) and when I drive my bike is inside. Plenty of room in my Mazdaspeed3 for my bike without taking the front wheel off, just turn the bars to the side. That way if I stop anywhere after the ride I don't have to worry about my bike being stolen off a car mounted rack.

Other times I am meeting people after work and time constraints require I drive to the rides.
