What trunk bike rack do YOU use?
Hi everyone! Remember me? 
...time here and many other forums was affecting my work. One day I went cold-turkey. Sadly as I hardly ever drive anymore, and when I do I use the JCW, and the C43/55 sits in the garage draining the battery ... I didn't return to the MB community here or on other forums.
...anyway... Here I am again. Hope all is well with all.
I'm going on a trip with 3 others traveling with me, their gear for the long weekend, and I'm taking at least 2 bikes, maybe 3. Using the Mini just ain't gunna be comfortable and I'm not sure given seating and luggage requirements if it's even possible. So even tho I'll be using twice as much fuel, I decided if I can get the A/C fixed on the W202 (and maybe even if not) I'll take that. Means I'll need a 3 bike bike rack.
So, what Bike rack on the trunk do you use, which doesn't leave marks or dents? (no roof rack please)
I'm considering the Yakima King Joe, or Saris Bones RS, Bones 3 (I own the Bones 2 and use it on my JCW all the time) or Gardian 3. Lemme know your experience with whatever you use. Thanx.
