It's not permanently attached. I think it would be damn handy for
long trips.

When you're going 135mph, wouldn't it fly off?

Anyone figure out a good way to carry a set of ski's or a snowboard on the S? My buds and I really want to go snowboarding one more time and the S may be the only car available.

Put the top down and find a friend who won't mind holding on to two snowboards while freezing his ass off for two hours.

Ever wonder how ski's and snowboards look like spoilers? If you attach them horizontally on the trunk and tilt them the right way, they could almost provide some down force!

The trick is attaching it safely to the trunk.

I've seen a lot of the new MR2's with these type luggage racks on them. Seems like a pretty good idea, just don't load too much weight on it.

I've been looking into these luggage racks, but have one concern. The ad says it won't work with a spoiler attached, does that mean a huge aftermarket wing, or does that mean that the OEM spoiler has to come off in order for it to work. I'd rather keep the spoiler and carry less stuff personally.
