Prosthetic head.
We don't all have the resources to go out and buy an SUV for covenience. Sometimes it's just necessity.
Although I really don't want to put a bike rack on my seven, I'm going to have to think up something for this year's bike races.

i feel ya, my 88 GTU is my daily driver and i will need to take my bike with me on some occasions. I asked on this forum expecting someone who had the same thing in mind as me (to not **** up my 7 by using a bike rack that will possibly break the spoiler)

At my local shop I picked up just a basic rack from a company called "Hollywood Racks". Holds two bikes, my BMX and my mountain bike just fine. I can snap some pictures if that would help.

Best as far as I'm concerned, is a hitch mounted rack. The hitch can also be used for towing small tire\toolkit trailer for autocrossing, small pop-up camper, U-haul trailer to college, etc. I don't like the roof or hatch mounted racks, not secure, hard to get bike loaded, bad aero drag....
I got my hitch from U-haul back in 1999. Also check places like... http://www.hitch-web.com
The hitches I found for the FC were all Class 1, which means they will be ball mount tongues, not receiver type hitches. This limits the variety of racks to choose from.
The only 'quality' rack I could find for a ball mount was the Thule..http://www.thuleracks.com/ The model is
948 - Ball Mount / Draw Bar Bike Carrier
The cost is not cheap, but then, neither is my bike.
For snow boards and snow skis, I'd just put them inside!?

I was afraid of what a google search of "hollywood racks" might turn up. But here you go:

I went to wal-mart a while back and bought one like Ed88 showed. Works great, even at 90 mph 
If you only want to use it occasionally, just get a cheap one, but I'd make sure you find one that will hold your boards, not just a bike rack.

BAH! The Hollywood rack doesn't fit ours. That's the one wanted.
I don't want a damn trailer hitch style one.
BTW yes I love my Rex but I love my bike as well.
I've dropped over 2k in my bike. Also ever tried to fit a full suspension moutain bike in the back hatch? Not fun.
I was trying to find a rack that mounted to the hatch. If I can;t find one I'll probably Fab one up since I have the fork holder parts from my trucks 2x4 rack.

Well i used to just pop the wheels off my bike when I had to transport it (my mountain bike had the quickrelease axles and brakes so it took like 20 seconds each wheel ), but I now have a BMX instead which doesn't have quick release but its a lot smaller so it fits fine. Another reason to ride BMX !

Haven't we ALL heard this
I did not buy a pre fitted hitch. The reason being I had to have a non removeable ball hanging out there. Not cool.
So I went to a custom place. They cut up a hitch and made it fit. They attached it to the tow hitchs. It works well for me.

My hitch also does double duty for a race trailer. If you want to carry mounted race rubber to the autox.

Does that screen name describe how you think? Hitting on zero cylinders?

i got a road bike that i hear is pretty rare, it looks fast just standing still, would look badass being carried by a car that looks fast standing still (rx-7)
