Re: Porsche and bikes
Nice job. I was tempted to put a rack on mine for my surfboards. Instead I just tilted the passenger seat back and stuffed it inside. People would always comment when I had a childseat in the back of my car. They were surprised to see that I actually used my Porsche like a normal car.

Are you kidding? "IMO" real sportcar enthusiasts cannot drive anything other than a sportcar and feel miserable driving anything else, so they go out of their way to use the sportcar when ever they can, everywere they can, and only drive the "other car" when they absolutely must. As opposed to those that have a sportcar in the garage for a drive/cruise under the sun every other weekend, while most of their driving they preffer to do it in a confi Merc
... to me at least, the type of use that the driver makes of the sportcar tells me more than anything else!!

I couldn't agree more Carlos. Last weekend was a perfect example for me. I wanted to take the 996 to the cabin vs. a Jetta, but my wife wanted to take her golden retriever along, well, I got a sheet put it down in the back and let the dog ride in the back. I don't know if that's a real common thing for us 911 people, but I know that was a first for me. I'll do about anything to go everywhere in the 911 rather than take the "family car."
Re: Porsche and bikes
Eh..., I used to think "versatility." Now I think bikes should be strapped onto the SUV.
It looks like a slightly ridiculous attention-getter. It looks like an accident waiting to happen. IOW, one mis-step in placing the bikes and your nice US$80-90K car has got a fricking dent and scratch on the roofline. What _worse_ stuff happens if you have to slam on the brakes?
Just IMHO, I wish you 100% accident-free use of the bike rack.
