I had my niece here visiting. We were going to load the bikes in the car and drive to downtown Detroit and bike around the downtown area. I have recently had "comfort" handlebars put on my bike to replace the straight bars that were killing my back and neck. For the life of me, I couldn't get the bike into the car without removing the front wheel, let alone get the other bike in there too. So I put a bike rack on the back of the car that seemed to work just fine. I ordered it from L.L.Bean when I had my Subaru, and I paid some bucks for it. It appeared that there was no undue force from the weight of the bikes going into the metal of the E, but man, I was so wrong. When we got home several hours later, there are three stupid looking dents -- 2 in the upper hatch part and one next to the driver's licence in the tailgate, and that one even has a scratch. I tried pulling them out with a plunger but no joy. I am so pissed at myself.
