Heck, I've driven home in conditions so nasty (roads and winds), my bike's been gusted and bopped around pretty good on a roof rack. I don't even want to think about how a trunk rack would have fared.
You hit the nail on the head. It's a new, Pearl White, Genesis R-Spec 3.8 Liter Coupe. It doesn't have a spoiler on the back, and Thule doesn't make a roof or trunk mount rack that will fit it. Yakima only makes a roof rack that fits it, and I wanted to avoid that is possible. The Saris Bones is listed as being a fit. However, given the posts affirming inevitable scratches, I may be looking to have a hitch installed.
