AutoRucksack: A Backpack for Your Car (TreeHugger)

 

Looks strange, but I guess it would be useful if you somehow managed to fill up your fit and still need more room for stuff! Maybe dirty laundry?

 

The Fit's interior itself is already large enough for almost anything possible, thanks to the magic seats. I don't see myself driving around with that sack hanging out of the rear. Visibility is concerned.

Great invention and all but it's just not for me. However, this is only my personal comment. Otherwise,...

 

Poor rear visibilty, just another excuse to scratch your paint or glass, and one swipe with a utility knife and all your goodies get sold at a flea market by some ingrate who didn't even have to put much effort into taking them. Not good.

 

The little wing on top of the hatch on Fit Sports will get in the way of the backpack straps. I ran into this problem when I tried hooking up a bike rack. The bike rack straps wrapped around the wing to hook on the hatch frame. But the weight of the bikes would cause major stress on the wing. I took the rack off before it ripped the wing off.

 

I should get one, and make my car sing cadence

"C130 rolling down the strip, airborne rangers on a one way trip...."



in all seriousness that is the most retarded thing I've seen in a good while.
