Re:Opinions on ski racks...

[Daniel Hussey <GY3WSX@VM.SC.EDU>]

      I disagree!  I would definately recommend the Yakima rack over the Thule
any day.  The Yakima racks have big thick pads to protect your car's finnish, a
nd the cross-bars are round, rather than rectangular.   I heard that the Thule'
s cross-bars (because they are rectangular) flex under high speed, or under ext
reme conditions.  The Yakima is more sturdy and stands still at high speeds.
I also, do not like the coffin ski holder, but I guess that is a matter of opin
ion.  WHether or not they reduce drag, I think they look stupid!  I like the tr
aditional ski racks much more.  Also, I know that one of the Yakima engineer's
is a Quattro owner!
