Which bike carrier are you using? Since I can’t seem to decide what to replace the WRX with, and I don’t have roof rack mounts, I’m considering fitting a hitch receiver and getting a carrier.
Also, damn, that’s some great scenery. I miss travelling.

I miss traveling too, thanks Rona!
The bike rack is a Swagman XC2 off of Amazon. Zero issues after 7 years and ~20, 000 miles . I despise roof racks as that’s the last thing I want to mess with after a long ride and don’t believe in paying the premium other name brands call for (looking at you Thule) . With this, you just throw the bike on, ratchet it down, and you’re set. Don’t have to worry about damaging your car or bike. /rantreview

I like roof racks that are bolted down to mounts in the roof, not those that clamp on to the rain gutter and window frame (bad experience once). You can get similar bike carriers that you simply drop the bike into and ratchet down to put on a roof rack. If my car had the mounts (2018+ WRXs do, mine is a ‘17), that’s what I’d do, doubly so because I have kayaks too (currently have to borrow a truck).
Thanks for the review on the carrier. I just have to see what a hitch will run me.
