GM has just announced a new bike rack that will come on new SUVs. This thing looks wild. Push a button and the rack slides out from the rear bumper.

I have a problem with all the automated options like that. What happens when the motor breaks? It's a good concept though.

That's going to be $$$ to fix if you back into a pole or get rear ended…

I'd be nervous about scraping that up the Vedder road.

I'm happy to get outside and enjoy nature while I can, but I fear for the future of humanity
