Best way to transport a surfboard with a Toyota celica?

I’m looking to buy a car and I love toyota celicas but I’m worried that I wont be able to take my surfboard with me if I get one. Do you know if the back seats fold down or if the board could slide in that way? My board is 6′ 10″ Oh and I’m pretty sure it’s not possible to put it on the roof. It’s a 2 door and I’ve seen no rack systems for the celica online anywhere.
please no stupid comments like… break it in half.

Have any of you been to New Orleans and seen the lawlessness and waste of taxpayer money there after Katrina?

I went to New Orleans recently to attend a Tea Party Meeting.
And what I saw was shocking.

I drove through one of the neighborhoods to see how my tax paper money was being used.

I saw and old lady who had made a barbeque grill out of a 50 gallon drum and was cooking ribs and gumbo and selling them in front of her Free FEMA trailer

I stopped, realizing that this was an illegal operation. To get evidence, I bought a rack of ribs and wolfed them down then had a bowl of gumbo.

There was a group of guys playing blues music in the yard and they had a tip jar set out. Another violation. They were drinking Colt 45 Malt liquor in public, another violation.

I started to call the cops but decided to pull my old Martin D35 guitar out of the car to infiltrate the lawbreakers. One of them offered me a malt liquor but I paid him for it to see if they were also running an illegal bar. They showed me some Howling Wolf guitar licks and then one of them who was wearing an Obama shirt offered me a marijuana cigarette and told me that if I liked it he had some to sell. I had to smoke it to fit in and get more evidence but I did not inhale. To get more evidence I bought some from him.

I got hungry again and bought another bowl of the Untaxed Gumbo and another Illegal Colt 45 Malt Liquor.

I said goodbye to them and went to my car and called the cops. When the cop who looked like James Earl Jones arrived, I told him who I was and what the people were up to. I told him that as a tax paying citizen that I was sick and tired of providing free housing to old ladies without enough repect for our country to even pay income tax on an illegal gumbo stand. It told him that the musicians were not reporting their tips or the income from their illegal beer joint. I told him about the marijuana and showed him the dope the guy sold me and pointed the guy out.

It turned out that the old lady was his grandmother and he said that I had the right to remain silent and that anything I said could and would be used as evidence against me. He handcuffed me and told me that I was under arrest for pocession of a controled substance and public intoxication!

And I know that he was a racist because he told me that if I would get my white asse out of New Orleans Now that he would let me go. He kept the pot. He probably sold it or gave it back to Mr. Obama shirt.

So there you have it. Maybe Bill O’reilly, Rush Limbaugh and Neil Bortz were right and we should have let these people stay on their roof tops after Katrina or live in the Superdome. They were too lazy to hitch hike out of town before the storm and if the Old Bat had been responsible enough to pay flood insurance on her shack we woudn’t have to buy her a FEMA trailer to run her illegal gumbo shop.

wow have i recieved some good ones today is this funny ?

A man and his wife were driving through country on his way from New York to California. Looking at his fuel gauge, he decided to stop at the next gasoline station and fill up. About 15 minutes later, he spots a Mobil station and pulls over to the high octane pump.

“What can I do for y’all?” asks the attendant. “Fill `er up with high test,” replies the driver. While the attendant is filling up the tank, he’s looking the car up and down. “What kinda car is this?” he asks. “I never seen one like it before.” “Well,” responds the driver, his chest swelling up with pride, “this, my boy is a 1999 Cadillac DeVille.”

“What all’s it got in it?” asks the attendant. “Well,” says the driver, “it has everything. It’s loaded with power steering, power seats, power sun roof, power mirrors, AM/FM radio with a 10 deck CD player in the trunk with 100 watts per channel, 8 speaker stereo, rack and pinion steering, disk brakes all around, leather interior, digital instrument package, and best of all, a 8.8 liter V12 engine.”

“Wow,” says the attendant, “that’s really something!” “How much do I owe you for the gasoline?” asks the driver. “That’ll be $30.17,” says the attendant.

The driver pulls out his money clip and peels off a $20 and a $10. He goes into his other pocket and pulls out a handful of change. Mixed up with the change are a few golf tees. “What are those little wooden things?” asks the attendant. “That’s what I put my b*lls on when I drive,” says the driver. “Wow,” says the attendant, “those Cadillac people think of everything!”

How much weight will a Infiniti 1998 QXR Roof hold?

My friend and I have a cargo load that fits on the top of the roof, but it’s about 500lb. There are roof racks, but we would be putting the cargo between the two racks (not on top of them). We would be placing it on the plastic supports going right over the metal of the roof–the bars that, when pushed down on, touch the roof. Not sure how else to explain it.

We’d be driving on the highway with this cargo for about four hours. We know the danger of rollovers, with so much weight on the top of the vehicle. I’m more afraid of the cargo being so heavy that if we went over a bump the windows might crack or something.

What are the dangers of putting this much weight on the top of a car of this size and build, or would the car be able to handle it no problem?

The car looks like this:

it’s pretty hefty.
Also, essentially, this load will be resting across these plastic bars and on the frame of the car itself. It’s about as wide as the car. So I guess a better question might be how much weight the frame of the car could support if we put something on top of it?

We know the max payload capacity is about 800lb.

Which bike rack is better for a 2007 Honda CR-V: Yakima or Saris?

I’m looking to purchase a bike rack for my CR-V and have had a lot of trouble picking out the right rack. Thule is not an option as it doesn’t make any racks that fit my car. It looks like the Yakima Quickback 2 or Saris Porter 2/3 would both work. Any comments on either one of these models?

Also, I know that a hitch rack or roof rack would be better options, but I really don’t want either of these at this time and am looking for only a trunk rack.
Again, to the first response, I don’t want a roof or hitch rack.

To the second response, the ’07 model was the first to come without a spare on the back, or else I would have gone with the SpareMe. That’s why I’m looking into trunk racks and Thule doesn’t make a model that works on the ’07 CR-V.

board choice please help !?

i bought my first board its a BIC 6’7 starter shortboard and was wondering if its to advanced for me and if i can acually learn on it ?
just like to add i got this board cause i couldnt really afford a longboard and the 6’7 fits in my car and i couldnt get a roof rack because i have a small car, i wasnt just being stupid

New car suggestions please!?

Looking at getting a new car for around $15000. Ideally it will handle snowboard and surfing gear (short boards in the car would be great, a suitable roof/rack for strapping on long boards would also be nice)–so maybe it is a hatchback. It handles wintery mountain roads nicely as well as a short daily commute (reasonable fuel efficiency). Otherwise, it outdoes it’s competition. What am I buying? Thanks!
