Default Trailer hitch

Is there a trailer hitch that will fit on the C6?? Not a towing hitch but a reciever that can be used to insert a bicycle rack.

You know, this is just crying out for someone to photoshop this SUV (Sport Utility Vette).

I think I saw a picture of a hitch that had been purchased or fabricated for bikes on the C5 forum a month or so ago. You might be able to find it again.

Check out this link:

C5 Trailer Hitch

Don't know whether one has been made for the C6 yet.

I've seen Corvettes pulling small trailers like a motorcycle pulls. I guess it would work for a bicycle holder as well.

Thank you all for your replys(I really appreciated those who took time to give me a sincere answer ) and opinions (even though I didn't ask for them ). Having finished 10 Ironman Triathlons, 5 in the world championships, and riding bikes for 30 years, I'll carry my bike any way I please. If you chose to leave your Vette in a garage covered with a blanket when you do something different that's your choice. Maybe you should get out on a bike.
