Yep, my bike always goes in the trunk/folded down back seat. I don't like how the trunk racks scratch the car (and with my heavier bikes, I can feel them in how the car handles) and I never bought a roof rack because I couldn't commit that much money. Bike goes in drivetrain up, rear wheel toward the front, front wheel off. Never had a problem. Though the bar end shifters on the Fargo always get shifted and smushed, they're pretty much indestructible anyway.
