[DML] Re: luggage rack

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The main problems with the luggage rack are:
1) It makes it harder to open the engine cover, you have to remove the
things from the luggage rack and the rack itself to open it to check
your oil or water.
2) You create a lot of wind resistance reducing your gas mileage.

The advantages are:
1) You can store ALOT of stuff on it. One owner I know uses a cargo
net and takes 2 big plastic storage boxes on it and they are heavy.
There is no security and it makes a big difference with his gas
mileage. It does not seem ot have any effect on the temperature of the
motor.
