During my excursions this past holiday in Ohio, I came across this really cute GM vehicle, the Chevrolet HHR – good carrying capacity, good fuel economy, peppy action and oh wait, what’s this…
A window sticker that was not added by the owner and it didn’t read “California, Get a Life”, “Obama ‘09″ or something similar.
Upon closer examination, I realized it was a warning to those who would carry things on the roof of this car. Immediately, my mind thought of the three bike racks and wheel holders that I have on top of my truck. Consider what must have prompted GM to put this sticker on their car in the first place and who is typically buying this vehicle?
- a) a bunch of triathletes or cyclists with Yakima or Thule racks
- b) a bunch of hunters trying to tie dead animals to the roof of their vehicles
- c) the Beverly Hillbillies
- d) teenage highway surfers
- e) all of the above
Let me know you’re thoughts.
