Reesha, for some reason, there aren't a lot of full service car washes in New England, but at least now, there are the "automatic" kind for the outside of the car and a few full service ones. When I moved here, I was used to getting the full service kind, inside and out in AZ, for like 6.00 (dating myself here).

Catrin, I was banned from my car wash in 2008 because my Saris Thelma broke it! Hence, I stopped using the rack, took it off the hitch and shoved my bike in the back of my car. It fit, but it was tight. I was forever ruining the bar tape and losing the end caps.
This is why I bought a station wagon.
