Yeah - throw them inside the vehicle. Resolved

I throw all my racks inside my vehicle. Makes it easier to get them home
where I can put them on my roof having all my tools handy.

Putting the ski rack on the roof at home is great if you're lucky enough
to live in a ski-in ski-out house. For the rest of us it's not such a
great idea.

I drove my ski rack INTO the house. The rental house in South Lake Tahoe.
I stopped outside the house when we arrived Sunday night and unloaded the
skis, then went around through the house to open the garage door. The I
drove into the garaqe. With the right rack arms still up. Tore off the
front one.

Monday night, I was smarter. When I returned fron Heavenly V alley, I drove
the car into the garage with the skis still attached to the left side, and
removed them inside so my wife could take the car to the casinos. She then
drove out of the garage. With the left rack arms still up. Tore off the
rear one.

The next day, I carried the skis inside the car.
