The winner for this month's Forester are pictures like this:
Neat in an interesting way though I have to wonder if the owner is well exceeding his load limits.
I love my Forester. It's a great little car in that it can go a long, long way for a single person, multiple trips, before it finally has to be cleaned out to start over again.
Right now, mine has remains from Spring Festivals, spare boots, rain gear that was bought for Shimmy Mob, 6 gallon water Jerry cans waiting to be filled, pet food, 3 bags of kitty litter, cases of soda for an upcoming party, probably canned goods waiting to be unloaded, a pet taxi, my scuba gear, and lots and lots of paper to say nothing of the standard emergency gear.
As an American Q might say, "All in all, pretty well JUNKED!".
BUT........like I said, about at the limit to be cleaned out to be prepped for next week's tasks.
BUT.......if I had roof racks, would I be tempted for more loading? Probably yes......but no.
To me, external racks are meant only for, in the city, day tripping stuff. You might tie the ready gear up there, but once you got to where you were going, you either carry it with you, are there to pull on it as needed, or stuff it in the car and lock it.
Sure, on a long trip, perhaps camping, my Forester might look something like this,
I do ride but don't kayak/canoe/boat......yet; I suppose someday I could always have a skiff up there.......................
but day to day stuff, I don't think a roof rack is in the cards...........yet.
