Not a problem. I carry lumber, fire wood, dogs, you name it. If I am in the vette and need to stuff I get it home in the vette. I just wash and vaccum later.

I don't get it? Somebody is using their sports car to bring their other sports equipment somewhere... This sounds right to me.

Personally, I think the guy has Goodyear runflats and has to carry alternate transportation.

Actually, I really don't see a problem -

Read slower, you will get it sooner or later

Wouldn't do it on mine since I've got a DD for that kind of stuff, but I don't really see anything wrong with it.

He went to non runflats, and because there is no spare tire had to think up an alternative.

If he carries it around ALL the time,just because he thinks it's "cool",well,that's not really "wrong",but it is kind of odd.

If he's going somewhere in the Vette,and he wants to take the bike,it beats the heck out of trying to stuff it INside the car.

I don't have a problem with it, I just wouldn't do it to my car...thats why I have a year long winter beater I use as a daily driver....on the other hand, I will argue until I'm blue in the face about people who think driving a vette in the winter is ok. Granted, it's your car but don't argue that the salt doesn't cause damage or that it doesn't depreciate the value of the car even more.

Actually I think it looks pretty cool. He (or she) gets to drive their favorite car to where they like to go biking and is able to bring the bike. I have a pickup to do those type of things, but when I'm driving it I always wish I was in my Vette.
