[urq] ski racks

[Brandon Rogers]

Hey Mike-
Funny you ask this....just recently some other Listers who shall remain
nameless for now were giving me a hard time..I met up with them right after
I went for a mountain bike ride and had my bike on the roof.  They were
saying it looked silly to have a sports car with a rack on it.  How I
disagree?   There's nothing like seeing a performance car with gnarly snows
and a rack heading up to the mountains, braving inclement weather.  When you
can carry your toys on the fun car, it makes the drive getting there as fun
as the skiing or biking or whatever, IMO. .....anyway... Thule and Yakima
both make roof racks, which have attachments for everything from bikes to
skis and snowboards to surfboards.  Because the urq has rain gutters,
fitment is universal, and a setup will be cheaper than the newer aero cars
who require specialized mounting hardware.  A wind fairing will greatly
reduce wind noise, too.
