Yes us true natives who stay ITP are rare indeed.

Excellent. I was thinking the exact same for my wifes TD. I just always found the cheap doors and sealed beams to be the only part of the car that was truly ugly.

It's pretty flimsy compared to the Yakima I already have. Also, the stock piece appears to only be good for suitcases or maybe a Christmas tree. I don't know how you'd use it to carry three mountain bikes up there in a civilized and safe manner, nor for carrying lumber -- I do both of these with the Yakima which is adjustable, customizeable, and easily removable.

Ya it is certainly not a bike rack kind of car. You "sporty" beamer owners. Tsk. Do you have the Yakima wind deflector too? (rubbing elbow in ribs).

Welcome.
