Sure beats owning a pickup for that once or twice, doesn't it?

I always considered a rack to be necessary equipment for every car we owned, and it's how my Fit got its name. We had a blue 89 Accord sedan named Al, short for J. Alfred Roofrack. In 01 we replaced it with another blue 89 Accord sedan, named Al Jr. Al the Third is actually our first car without a rack, but it is a blue Honda 4-door. And it's got a hitch.
