I know what not to get. Anything like our Neon with the rear spoiler. Bleh. We can't fit a bike rack on the thing 'cause of the spoiler. (and that's just one reason that I hate the car...)

My other problem is that DH & I ride honkin' big recumbents, just about the size of a tandem apiece, with those big comfy seat backs and my fairing that act like sails. Not something I want on top of the Neon.

What I'm thinking of doing, therefore, is putting a trailer hitch on the Neon and renting the smallest U-Haul Trailer for those times we need to take our bikes longer distances than we wish to ride. Bikes are covered and out of the way, gas mileage suffers, but not on a permanant basis, and the trailer Goes Away when we are done. No storage headaches.

Something to consider. It might just free up your car considerations a bit.
