Get off my lawn!

It is the funny way they say vacation. That is when you don't go into the office anymore. Wait, that is kinda what you do every day.

Can a 944 fit a bike inside without breaking the rear glass?
Can a Z3/M coupe (the dork car/clown shoe/breadvan, etc.)?

 I sat in a 914 for the first time this Sunday. Car had too many issues, but I found out that it had a lot less luggage space than I thought. I was picturing Boxster like twin trunks. Boy was I wrong. I dig how you sit on the floor though. Gonna stick with the Ford for a while and save up for something that can carry a bike and some luggage and is rear wheel drive with a manual transmission.

you'd be pretty surprised how much stuff you can put in the back of a 944.

Max, get one of those strap to the trunk racks and greatly expand your options. What about a a BRZ or an FRS? Get something nearly new and reliable. A Focus ST would be a good option also, albeit not RWD, but bloody fast!

No FWD. No pickemup trucks. Not really interested in Japanese. If I needed a car now then FRS/BRZ, Miata, or MR2 would pass, but I don't need a car, just want a nicer one.
I've got a rack I used on my Bimmer but I would like a car that can accept the bike on the inside. It is a little safer and keeps the bugs, dirt, and rain off the bike during transit. I have the 911 as a toy car, this one will have to be a semi-practical car.

Max I hauled my bike inside the corolla, and it was a royal pain in the ass. I have an SUV now, and I'm looking for a rack for it. So much easier. And if you are riding your bike right, it's getting plenty damn dirty while you ride it.

ah, the BRZ. i love the look of that car. my car ate the lunch of one a couple months back. not too surprising, except to the owner of the new car.
still, i'd happily drive the new BRZ. its a gorgeous car, IMO, and has gotten good reviews.
