Advice on car racks

If you have a hitch, spend a little more and get a hitch mount rack. It might even be worth getting
a hitch on your car. Especially with a spoiler.

I added a hitch and a Hollywood fork mount to my BMW and it's the best bike investment I ever made.

Looking for an inexpensive (around $100 USD) car rack that must be able to work with a spoiler and
carry at least 2 mountain bikes. Any suggestions? I drive a Subaru Outback Sedan if anyone has
that car and knows of a good trunk mounted rack.

Thanks!

Forget the trunk - use your factory crossbars and put a Yakima Raptor on top. If your Outback was
made in the last 2-3 years you will need MightyMount part 24H also (I'm pretty sure).

Have both, much prefer a roof rack.

A car rack is the best bike investment you've ever made? I can't fathom that.

I thought my car rack was the best bike investment I'd ever made...

Super glue, rivets and velcro straps. I thought that I'd seen everything until I saw this on a van
recently. I actually believe that the superglue was doing a better job of holding the van together
than the bike on.
