    The last time I saw it - he DID have it on. That's not the point I was making anyway. I think I made my point quite well for the OP.

    It hasn't and never will be. It's the "IN" thing to do. Just like when people popped their collars. B/c they THOUGHT it was cool.

    So any day you dont have a load to carry on your rack you should entirely remove the rack from the vehicle??

    Just because you occasionally use a rack doesn't mean you cant have one unloaded on a vehicle.

    The thing is, most people who are putting them on their cars, don't ride bikes.

    I should pull over beside the road and re-install my nitrous everytime I want to use it. That sounds fun.

    The point is you use it.
    If you had it purely for cosmetics then IMO, it'd be on some poser shit.
    Same goes for the people who only sport bike racks under the
    guise of visually enhancing their cars....

    The point is ACTUALLY that it's their car. THEY DRIVE IT!! If they wanna drive it w/ a roof rack on increasing the drag co-efficient and reducing their gas mileage they are within their rights to do so.

    People do dumb shit to their car --- this will always be, and I find it funny. But I find it more funny that other people worry about the dumb shit that other people do to their car.

    You DEFINITELY thought it was a photochop --- asshat.

    No 1 here thought you were joking... and neither did you. Nice attempt to try to save your ass... "still a busta".

    hilarious!

    did you guys even see the pic jesus caressing the baby dinosaur I was comparing the shot too?

    are you insinuating that I believe it possible for jesus to be holding a baby dinosaur? as much as its possible for a honda w/ a bikerack to actually HAVE a real bike on it?

    save your own ass mines in the clear

    Speaking of your ass... I'm pretty sure your ass was handed to you on the 2nd post of this thread. And the 3rd. The 4th, and the 5th (I think you get the point). The fact that you are still at it beats the shit outta me... but I got all day kid. Some people just love being a glutton for punishment.

    Cool - anymore 4th grade comebacks? You should take this show on the road. Good thing I don't have any feelings or they'd really be hurt right now.

    The verdict is that people can and will do what they want to THEIR cars and don't need your opinion, admiration, or approval unless it's solicited. And by the look of your box of bolts I don't think any1 will be asking for your raggedy ass opinion any time soon. Doesn't get any simpler than that.

    And it may be a fad or something but maybe people just realized a bike rack looks good on most cars and it's cooler to carry something on a rack than a trunk.
    Hey turd, if a bike rack isn't for transporting bikes, then why is it called a BIKE RACK? Also, most cars come with a cool thing called a trunk so your shit doesn't fall all over the road when you try to use a bike rack to carry something else.

    Maybe I should walk around with an empty holster on because holsters look cool and they are a really awesome way to carry candy bars.

    ^^ That'd actually be pretty cool! LOL. Go to the bank w/ a holster on... and keep your checkbooks in there. Say to the clerk "I've got something for you." then reach under your shirt really fast for the checkbook. She'll prob think that's a damn good joke.

    I am sure we will all laugh heartily for hours about that one...








    while I sit in jail for using my JDM holster for my checks.
