Mooty, are you high ? You should spare some of your Tx medications with us. They seem like a lot of fun.

Mooty and all. I know you have plenty of time on your hands right now. Got a challenge for you. Here is my first world problem for you as we discussed last time we rode together. My GT3T is my one and only car in the bay area and has a full wrap that basically prevents me from using my seasucker rack to get my various roads and MTB around. I live only here part time so having multiple cars is not really ideal. I am still toying with the idea of buying an old POS car that I would use almost exclusively to get my bike around. I could also use it for the 4 days of year where a GT3T on Cup2 is not best. I have only one parking spot at my apartment so the car would stay on the street.

The spec would be:

- Big enough to throw the bike in the back
- Dependable enough that it would start when I need it
- Ultra cheap. A seasucker Komodo rack is $1300. I am thinking of spending less than $5K all in for this.


Interesting challenge ? Not your typical one either this would be a change from shopping for a PP or Stinger. lol.

A 200K miles Sequoia or beat up chevy could work....

Anybody here got a car/truck that their kids do not want anymore ? LMK.

element is best choice.
however, if you MTB, the drive to trail head is usually fun. (Russian ridge, arastradero, skagge, demo forest etc etc)... you should just drive the GT
chris F has a GTS (no wing like GT3T). I would suggest peel last ⅔ of the Clr film on your roof (they really don't get hit, I don't cover the roof at all) then you can use sea sucker on roof and on rear glass.

Agree with mooty. I've never had a stone hit on the back half of any 997 or 991 roof. I mount to the back half of my sunroof and the rear glass and it has worked well with both my road bike (15lbs) and MTB (26lbs). I've tested it to a bit over 100mph with no issues. If you make sure you wipe down the bonding surface before you pump up the suction cups, you don't even get any pressure drop. They work really well.

I have the seasucker, this is how I used it on my Carrera with no film. The other issue is to leave the GT3T at some trail head. Probably not the smartest move. Soquel forest comes to mind...

As for the Element I did look for one and found just a few where they wanted something like 8K for a car with 280k miles on it.... Wonder why Honda stopped this, seems highly popular.

Just get any beat up trucklet (small pickup). They're dime a dozen and easy/cheap to fix/maintain.
