Hey there, y’all! Let’s gab a bit about somethin’ called a “sports rack for car,” ya know? It’s one of them things city folks use to haul their fancy toys around. I ain’t got no fancy toys, but I seen these things on them shiny cars whizzin’ by.
What is this “sports rack” thingamajig anyway?
Well, from what I gather, it’s like a set of bars they stick on top of their cars. Like a metal skeleton, ya know? They strap all sorts of stuff to it – them round balls they kick and throw, them pointy things they ski on, and even them smelly shoes they wear for runnin’ around. Some folks call it a roof rack, sounds fancy, huh? It’s for carryin’ extra stuff, like bags and gear, when the inside of the car is already full of junk. I reckon it’s handy if you got a whole passel of young’uns and all their gear.
Now, there’s different kinds, mind you. Some are just for the roof, like I said. But then there’s these other ones they put on the back of the car, for carryin’ them bicycles. I hear they call ’em rear bike racks. Seems like they’re mostly legal, ’cause folks need a way to get them bikes to wherever they’re goin’. Makes sense, I guess, bikes take up a lot of room.
Who makes these contraptions?
I heard tell of some names, like Thule. They make somethin’ called Sportrack and TracRac. Sounds like somethin’ outta a sci-fi movie, don’t it? But I guess they’re just fancy names for them racks. There’s other ones too, like MeeFar, and some folks just go to places like Amazon or that Leroy Merlin place to get ’em.
What can you carry on a sports rack?
Well, pretty much anything, I reckon, as long as it ain’t too heavy or too big. Like them footballs and soccer balls the kids play with. And them basketballs too. Even them helmets they wear to keep their heads from gettin’ cracked open. And of course, them bikes. I even seen folks carryin’ them long pointy things they use to slide down the snowy hills – skis and snowboards, I think they call ’em. They even got special racks just for them, fancy that!
- Footballs
- Soccer balls
- Basketballs
- Helmets
- Athletic Shoes
- Bikes
- Skis and snowboards
Where do you get one of these sports racks?
Well, like I said, you can get ’em online from places like Amazon. Or you can go to them big stores in the city, like that Leroy Merlin place. There’s even stores that specialize in car parts, like that Tuning Parts place I heard about. They got all sorts of racks and carriers and such. You can probably find one that fits your car, whatever kind it is. They got somethin’ called a “Fit Guide” to help you figure out what you need.
Why do you need a sports rack?
Well, I guess if you got a lot of stuff to haul around, it’s better than stuffin’ it all inside the car. Specially if it’s muddy or smelly. And if you got a small car, you ain’t got much choice, do ya? It’s about makin’ space, I reckon. And keepin’ the inside of your car clean. Though, I ain’t never had that problem. My old truck’s got plenty of room for my feed sacks and such.
So, that’s the lowdown on them sports racks, as far as I can tell. They seem like a handy thing to have, if you’re into that sort of thing. Me, I’ll stick to my old truck, thank ya kindly. But if you city folk need a way to haul your fancy gear around, that sports rack might just be the ticket.
One last thing, them racks come in all shapes and sizes, some are hard shell boxes, some are just open bars. Make sure ya get one that fits your car and can hold all your stuff. Don’t go overloadin’ it now, ya hear? Safety first, that’s what I always say.
