How do you get your gear and yourself to races?  Post pics!

Here's my multi-multi-utility vehicle.

I rock a honda civic, but with a 4 year old and all my gear I have been able to convince my wife that we need the honda minivan.  I'm so excited I can hardly contain it.......I can't believe that I just typed that.  Embarassed

I'm fighting the mini-van with all my might.  I have a soon to be three year old and a son on the way.  I've been able to convince my wife that the roof rack and a cargo box is all we need.

Just upgraded to a Mazda CX-7 for the sole purpose of putting my gear in the back without hassle.

I'm a stay at home dad.  My ride is an F250 and I am begging my wife to agree to a minivan.  She's fighting me tooth and nail.  In about 30 minutes we're going to test drive a Honda Odyssey.

For utility moving around gear and kids you just can't beat them.

I know that's what I've heard about the Odyssey.  I just don't want my bike to ride outside of the car anymore.

I never thought I would go with a minvan but after our 2nd was born we bought an Odyssey.  Over 100,000 miles and almost 10-years later we are still driving it.  Well, mostly my wife drives it but it's a great vehicle!  Road trips, skiing, camping, and yes we even fit my bike, gear and bags for a family of 4 to drive to Redman a couple years ago.  You won't regret buying one.

I drive a Trooper.  It carries my bike and gear inside.  If I need to carry multiple bikes I have a Yakima a can easily attach to the hitch.

This is a concern with me as well. I have an Acura MDX. Most of the time I fold down the seats and put my bike in the back. I still have the carrier in the picture incase my wife's bike has to come with too.

I have a rack for my bike that holds two of these. It's not that aero but it gets the job done.
