Bring beers! If you show up you’re wrenching on the W115. Those are the rules.

Wait. You store you kayak on top of your car? Like 365?

You’re absolutely kidding me. Do you live in a shoe? Are you sure you did not just lose the keys? It’s ok to tell the truth, we’re all friends here.

They’re easier to load, you won’t scratch your paint. They don’t hurt your fuel economy. (On my WRX that was a 4-5 mpg hit at 80 with 2 bikes on roof racks).You can’t bash them into your garage.

Plus with a hitch you get another solid lifting point or you can run a hitch basket for even more cargo capacity.

I’ve lived in Michigan for 20 years. I know all about it.

You go to a self serve car wash like everyone else.

I actually have a hot water wash wand made out of PVC for just the purpose. I have a hot water tap in my garage so I’m not fighting with a frozen hose.

I haul engines with my Fiesta 1 liter on occasion. $15 U Haul rental trailer works awesome.

It’s not for the track, the name is marketing B.S.

It’s going to be a big power cruiser SUV like a Cayenne GTS or G63

That’s pretty creepy dude. I don’t know about you but I don’t oogle women like that. They notice, it’s uncomfortable.

That’s why you go with a hitch mounted rack. The modern racks have zero downsides compared to a conventional roof rack other than a slight price premium.

I’ve owned every single type of rack. I only go hitch mounted at this point.

How is there not a self wash car wash for 80 miles? I count maybe a dozen in and around Miami.

No absolutely not.

Your do not deserve fast foot, neither does your kid.

I’ve helped raise 6 kids without fast food, I know it’s a pain to get them in and out of the car. You’re an adult, you can plan accordingly. You should prepare food ahead of time or be prepared deal with the time sink of going inside.

People that come up to you like that are the lowest common automotive denominator.

Who goes through an automatic car wash? Don’t be a fat ass, at least get out of your car if you’re going to eat Mcdonalds.

Seriously? Are people this lazy?

Racks are silly if you don’t carry anything with them. It’s just like yoga pants. “LOOK AT ME I’M ACTIVE” You’re not fooling anyone buddy.

It’s a wagon, you can fit what you need inside.

The cost to add a decorative rib to a plastic bumper is almost zero. I used to design the tooling to make injection molded parts like that. The tooling costs a small bit more but the effect on piece price is very very small.

On the flip side the exhaust system is one of the most expensive components in the car. The…

It’s a NP based on the drive line alone. Worst case you toss the body and put the motor in something amazing.

If you could imagine people care more about economy than WOT acceleration.

Function over form!

You’re adding weight, cost and complexity for something with zero benefit.

Yay Pentastar with turbos!
