I didn't realize Rhode Gear was gone. I've had one of their racks since 2000. I bought a Subaru Impreza RS coupe and didn't realize the rear seat didn't fold for bike transport. I was whining about it at work, then one day this rack showed up on my desk with a $15 Goodwill price sticker, from a co-worker. Good investment, almost 20 years later. I have a hatchback now, and rarely use it except for SAG support on our club charity ride. The stretchy rubber straps are nearly gone, but I guess that's what bungee cords are for.
