Default Trunk mount bike rack?

Just got back to AZ from NY and wanted to do some mountain biking out here. Unfortunately The S is my only car here. Anyone have or have any suggestions for a trunk mount rack thats not overly expensive and won't destroy the car? Thanks.

I have one at home. Haven't tried to put it on the S but I can give it a shot and post a pic.

I appreciate the responses. I'm going to buy one from sports challet so I have no worries if I dont like it. Are carrying a mountain bike? My other worry is the wheels hitting the road as i drive since the car is fairly low.

I like that. I ended up buying a folding one from sports chalet. it fits nice but I dont like the way it pushes on the bumper. Seeing how you had the same issue and solved it I may end up returning this one and going the same route as you. Thanks very much!

Hey Booost02,

Did you drive or fly from New York? If you drove, what roads did you take?

I drove. Its the third time making the trip. I do it twice a year for school. I took the major highways that kind of follow route 66. I 40, 44, 70 those are the ones i recall off the top of my head. I was heading mostly south west the entire time. Planning a cross country drive?

You drove in the S? I hate that trip lol. It gets nicer once you pass St louis but still not very comfortable in an S with 2 people and a whole bunch of stuff.
