So check this out...
I started using an old Yakima bike roof rack I had stripped off the wife's Subaru and installed on my Jeep. Coming back from a mountain bike ride, I was thinking about how great of a time I had on my new 29er (the bike was only two weeks old). I rounded the corner of my driveway, hit the garage remote and rolled right in... well half way, when I heard a thud and scrapping sound coming from the top of my Jeep.
I remember clearly thinking... NOoooooo, oh $#!+
I sat in the Jeep for a moment... staring at the inside of my garage. I finally got out and just walked into the house... didn't even look at the damage I had done. I finally came back out to see the carnage about 20 minutes later. The new 29er frame was bent and the entire rack had been pushed back about 8 inches from it's original position on my Jeep's rack.
I'll never use another bike roof rack... I'm just too absent-minded to remember it's up there and I'd rather thrash my bike out on the trail.
