Blends in? Check
Fast? Check
Carries my bikes? Check!
...no gumwalls, and it doesn't skid.

Taken at 80 mph by my buddies son on his cellphone. Not sure how it turned out like I am parked on a highway because I wasn't.

I had to run it backwards even though they recommend that you don't for some reason. The roof on this car is not ideal for the vacuum cups so they went on the rear glass and it held much better. I also got rid of those wheels.

I'd imagine that the glass roof would have less of an issue mounting that rack the "correct way."

I've still got the stock "Track-pack" wheels on mine. I should have waited for a Coyote powered car to be in my price range, but the 4.6L is plenty fast and it has more fancy stuff than I could have asked for. The fact that it had 30k on it was really the deciding factor.

I always thought fixed gear riders basically regarded cars as an unnecessary evil, particularly gas guzzlers.

Who has a gas guzzler? This thing averages 29 mpg on the highway, and I have even hit into the upper 30's/low 40's on the highway at lower speeds with the cruise on.

Like sliding a car, skidding a bike is dumb. It can also be pretty fun.
Should it be your only means of braking? No.
Does a track bike look better without brakes. Yes.
Does any of it matter? No, as long as you don't kill yourself and more importantly someone else.
Get some Paselas. Cheap enough to try out and ruin.
Hey, that's fine. I'm content with my car being a tool that carries my bikes and get's me to work on occasion. I really don't enjoy driving that much anymore.
To be completely honest, I'm considering a sprinter van for my next vehicle...then quit my job and just go ride bikes forever.

I fell for the marketing and got that over glorified challenger not long ago. My lead foot gives it piss poor fuel economy.
