If you use the deck lid rack, get symmetrical boards and have a huge

rear spoiler. But watch the mounting clamps. Why go to a longer board

unless you are dealing with deep powder (he says wistfully)?

Me; I just bought a Blazer and then throw the boards in the back. Of

course it is not as fun to drive a truck around all winter, and I can't

seem to get double clutching to work in the truck either.

Let the girlfriend carry the boards, and the car carry the girlfriend?

Seriously, the simplest solution might be a trunk rack.  I personally

don't like the look of them, but the OEM trunk rack should allow you to

strap down a couple of boards without damaging anything.
