    Yep, that's what we used. Found them on ebay for a bit less:

    Also got several other items from this seller for reasonable prices and quick shipping. No affiliation, of course, just a satisfied customer.

    Awesome!

    I will have to show this to my mother. She keeps telling my Dad they can't fit both bikes in her car (a CR-V). She would rather take the CR-V than the truck with the hitch but claims she can't do it. This may be a weekend project I attempt in a week and a half with her. Anything that gets her out of the house and on the bike with less hassle is a good thing. She's the hardware expert, though, being the engineer. The bike store by my parents house has had these things to make your own backseat rack for a bit but I was never ballsy enough to try! Might be a good DIY.

    I can easily fit two or three in my Soul, I bet, but I have a hitch rack, so it's easy peasy.
