    I have the kidneys for it, someone pulled them off at my school because they thought it would be funny? Anyways, I did put them back on after this cruise.

    But what kind of bike rack is that?
    Its a really old Thule setup. Works great though.

    and the bikes???????????WTF
    don't you all realize that your gas mileage is reduced up to half at highway speeds -or so I have seen on TV plus it just looks um yeah.

    the rest of the car looks great though.
    The front bumper looked better in my head then when I finished it. I had plans to redo it with some slight modifications, mainly stepping the valence back a couple of inches.

    Gas millage with the rack... I usually get 500 km's to a tank, on this trip i ended up getting close to 700 km's. I also ride the bike, so its kind of necessary.

    Thanks, I was going for the "smooth" look, and I had plans to change it slightly.

    Really like the car and the rims but I am a little confused on the choice of front bumper. Either way thats a real nice KONA you got on the roof. What are you running for suspension on that bad boy?
    Its an 06 Kona Stab Garbonzo Primo, RC2 Fox 40's on the front, with a Swinger 3 way rear shock. The bike is just amazing to ride, and I find that my problem is I get too carried away...

                Looks like a modified racing dynamics front? Not a big fan, but the wheels look great with the rest of the car.

                        420 miles on a tank with a bike on the roof? No way I call B.S. maybe without the drag imposed buy bike and rack sure, but highly doubtful.

                            Correct.
                            there is also a large amount of space behind it which was for a nice big inter cooler for the stroker turbo m42 that I have for it.

                            It was a joke, read the previous 3 posts to that quote.

                            No, no issues at all. running 3mm spacers in the front, and the fenders are rolled.
