I just bought a Draftmaster on craigslist for my Prius. The bikes mount vertically, as if they are riding up the back of the car. Like this:

Once I figure out how it sets up on the Prius, I'll take some pictures and post.
Indigo,
That is COOOL!!!!
The Thelma is very easy to use. However, I can fit my bike in the back of my car, if I fold the seats down. I don't even have to take the front wheel off. The only issue I have is that I am "banned" from the local car wash, unless I take the rack off, because last summer I broke the car wash (tore the spaghetti looking things that clean the car) when I went through!
Lucky for me, I pretty much drive around in my dirty car, never seeing the insides of a car wash. :)
Typically, when I take my cars to our mechanic, I return to the mechanic via bicycle. Our cousin who lives 200 miles away had their car break down here last summer, so it was towed to the shop and i agreed to pick it up when it was done. Well, I couldn't figure out how to get the bike into the car! I took off the front wheel but got flustered trying to take off the rear one. Finally the mechanic came out and helped me. :p
i put it into the back seat. BARELY.
