i want a

dam bike rack! but i dont ride bikes!
i think they look awsome tho!

yeah, they're useless unless you have a purpose for them.

they do look pretty sick

NOOO don't do it!

Pointless unless you actually use it. It's the same as having a big ricer wing on the trunk. =P

I want one too!!! I live in Hawai'i so I'll fit right in using it or not because here they are more used for surfboards. I'll use it to haul shit though.

yep...they do the same thing: create needless drag.

i see it all the time out here in vegas. they can look cool, but it's for a purpose that no one uses it for and no need for it. i bet most people are over weight and don't even own a bike. i actually go mountain biking, but i just stick in the back of my fj.

But it looks so interesting....

^ ROFL

i want a bike rack, have a bike and i use them almost everyday.
barely fits my back seat /=

Roflmfao

Reminds me of back in the 1970s during the CB radio craze. At the time, JC Whitney sold a fake CB antenna. Why? I guess so you could look cool and not have to spend the money on a real CB radio and antenna.

oh yeah, follow the honda crowd. it's exactly as the wind deflector says... useless

Actually it says Useless Four Door. Its better than VW with there rusted hoods.

let me get this straight. having a useless bike rack on a car with no bike to put on it is better than having a hood on the car? if a bike rack is actually being used than it's a different story.

He said RUSTED hoods.

what does the bike rack say? "useless...."?

This is what Rolla02 meant.

It's that Volkswagen trend. Some other cars have picked it up too.

I personally think it looks retarded.

i know he said rusted and i know what the rusted hood is. i've had a vw in the past and currently have an '80 caddy. a car needs a hood rusted or not, it doesn't need a bike rack which is what this thread was talking about. comparing something that is needed versus something that's not is not a do comparison.

It says Useless Four Door.



Yea but the rusted hood on a new Passat or any car looks like total and utter ass thats covered in shit.

I am not saying that a car with a bike rack with or without a bike looks stupid, I am just saying it looks interesting, I personally saw that Civic when I was down at Tail of The Dragon and chuckled when I first saw it.

so how do you explain the useless roof rack on the VW? The hill billy suit cases?

a bike rack is useless on any car if it's not being used. if a cargo rack is being used than there's a point to it and i don't know why it has become a vw versus 'X" debate when this was about a bike rack. vw does have a history on older cars to include cargo racks on some models.

Bottomline is don't get it if you're not going to use it. Otherwise, we will flame the hell out of you. Done.

/thread.

that one looks nice. i think on the newer vw's it comes down to how the hood has rusted.

Yeah, it looks nice depending on the year and model.

exactly ^.

Over here in houston, the civic/teggy + bike rack is as abundant as the sand in the shore " (i hate poetry)

i am amazed at how long the euro scene has been going on out here in vegas. people will offer their house to visitors even if they don't know them. there's a certain thing about owning a vw and meeting the other owners than makes it an amazing experience.

its called the Lockjaw Trend.

the rust look actually came from the american rat rod culture . . . . .

and as for the dub with the "hillbilly suitcase" read the front tag on the car . . .
