What car would your bike live in?

Yay, the gen vibe forum is back up! Here's the post about fork mounting bikes in the Vibe:

And one of his pics:

Looks like he has a rubber mat down over the plastic.

PS- you want an 08 or earlier. 09 gets worse gas mileage (tho is more fun to drive), is smaller (less head room for my 2 Bernese) and the rear glass won't open (how am I supposed to get a 2x4 in there then??). Oh, and my mileage quotes are for the base manual (cause manual rocks!)

We tried this with our road bikes in the Matrix. Mine fit fine, H's wouldn't fit without removing the saddle and he didn't want to have to do that all the time (his is a 56cm). We actually used a 2x4 with the fork mounts on it from our old Toyota pick up. We sawed off the ends to fit the car and it did not need to be bolted down. It fit snugly enough to be stable on it's own. I would imagine you could do the same with the Vibe.
