Jim, you are just plain wrong, wrong, wrong. You need to put the canoe
directly on the roof, then you have a much neater package with a lower
profile. The wind blowing you around just serves to keep you awake during a
long drive! And, with the passenger's and back seat out completely, you can
fit 22 cases of beer into a bug. Only trouble is you kinda loose your
suspension. Ahhhh, those were the days!

 I am pretty impressed with the S&S D action though.
