My favorite's my135,000-mile Isuzu pickup--just throw stuff in the back until you run out of stuff--but it's getting sort of shaky for long trips, plus it doesn't have AC, and I've gotten soft in my advancing years. I just bought the clips to transplant my old Yakima rack from an aging Civic to my 2003 Mazda Protege. I took it from Reno to Las Vegas this weekend (about 1000 miles RT), and it worked fine, so I guess that's it. I'll still use the truck for local trips, though.
