Previous owner had attached as many racks to the vehicle as he could. The rear passenger side door wouldn’t open. Now it’s just the basic roof rack. I’ve got a few different attachments for it, so I can safely transport most anything I’d want to, which is usually nothing.
The Jeep has a rack hooked up to the ceiling of the garage. The rack is holding stuff while hooked to the ceiling of the garage. The Jeep gets 1.5MPG better while its rack is in the garage so it rarely wears its rack.
I had a rack on my van…until somebody stole the van while I was ten feet away using a leaf blower in my driveway…this happened earlier this evening in lovely Cleveland, Oh!
Does a gun rack on the back wall of the truck cab count?
You should have included “I have a truck, thus no need of a rack”. But given it’s almost deer season, I hope to have a nice rack in it soon!
But as long as it fits and as long as there are idiots posers pasting AMG decals on non-Mercedes vehicles, ///M on non-BMWs, Type-R badges on everything, etc., you’re fine.
Looked at picking up a roof rack for my Legacy, but it has a huge trunk, and if I fold down the back seats, I can easily fit a bike or lots of snowboarding/skiing gear in the cabin. After seeing the numbers for fuel efficiency with racks, I’m fine doing without.
Have an old Yakima with tons of add ons (kayak, canoe, and etc) but now that the ghetto van has gone to that junk yard in the sky at the ripe old age of 25 my new (well 13 years old but new to me) vehicle doesn’t have rain gutters so no way to use it. Sigh. Of course I had to sell my toys in order to pay for health junk so I guess unless I need to put stuff up there for a road trip it doesn’t matter that much anymore.
‘Cue “rack” joke.’
Haha, cause rack means boobs!
@nogoodwithnames Ha ha ha…

Does the steering rack count?
I have a rack for my razor scooters.

Yes and a pinion too.

@duodec Aerodynamics plays a huge role in fuel economy.
@duodec if I had a garage this would be me.

@edguyver14
@edguyver14 next time use a thief blower
@edguyver14 Maybe they were mad at you for using a leaf blower.
@edguyver14 That seriously sucks
@Kidsandliz no, it blows.
I have a bike rack but it spends most of its time in the garage.
I know of these sorts of vehicle.
One guy (I overheard this at Dairy Queen) said, “and that’s why God invented home machine shops.”.
Been wanting to use this so …
@davido Hahahahhaah this is good and I’m stealing it
My vehicle is a bike, so I guess it has a bike rack? Or it would if it did, but it doesn’t.
@lifftchi yep, my bike has a bike rack. I’ve never tried to carry a bike ON my bike, though. That’d be zany!
@UncleVinny So this is out of the question?
No deer/elk/antelope racks?
Where’s the “No, my car has been parked behind shoprite since summer because it doesn’t go anymore”?
@Pantheist heh, Shoprite. are they still around?
@hac Yup, everywhere in NJ
I rock Thule Aeroblades with a Thule Canyon XT basket and extension on top.
I have kayak racks that I put on when my wife and I go kayaking, but they don’t live on the vehicle.

Is it wrong to mix Yakima and Thule components?

For you:
Looked at picking up a roof rack for my Legacy, but it has a huge trunk, and if I fold down the back seats, I can easily fit a bike or lots of snowboarding/skiing gear in the cabin. After seeing the numbers for fuel efficiency with racks, I’m fine doing without.
I have one on the roof because it came standard with the vehicle. It isn’t this kind, though.
@rockblossom Oh sweet baby Cthulhu. I feel like my value on my Jeep would double if I had those on it.
@Cambroz It surely would, unless you are driving in deer country during rutting season. In that case, I hope you have really good insurance.
I have a bike rack that is fairly easy to remove/replace, so while I don’t actually have a rack on my car now, I do have one.
@Cambroz - Does your Jeep have a rack?
@Thumperchick Nope. I’d put a rack on it though.
I drive a pickup. It is a rack.
