I was hoping my board would fit in the trunk, but it doesnt even come close. other than putting my board in the back seat (there are 3 of us going, none of which drive a truck or suv with 4wd) how can i get 3 boards in or on the car?

Yeah man your out of luck. I board to and just bum rides all of the time. Its either that or go by yourself. Next year Im getting a 4x4 beater.

im seriously considering selling this thing. it does me no good at all. it doesnt snow here, so i dont need the awd unless i go snowboarding, which i cant do because the stupid seats dont lay down and no one makes a rack, i cant lower it without it shaking like something you find in a sex shop, and its slow as hell, its not even luxurious cause the stupid thing rattles too. as soon as my little one goes forward facing I think im going to get rid of it and either get a 07+ g35 sedan, an is350, or an suv.

I feel your pain. Thule doesn't make a rack for the GS so we can't go that route either. I have to either bum rides or go in a larger group so my car will be the people mover and the other car hauls all our stuff.

Just wondering...can you switch cars with your wife?

Get a used comforter , wrap snowboard and tie it on the top. Tie two boots to it too so it look like you are having a body up there.

I'd look at the receiver hitch option and get a rack to mount them on that. Cheaper and less hassle than a SUV beater if you're doing it purely for this. There were some recent posts of the hitch being used to haul bikes and it looked like a good option for large, light items.

Yeah I know its not a outdoor sports kinda car but I still love it. If you want to lower it RWD is the way to go and the 350 feels/is a lot more powerful then the 300.

lol not sure what's worse or funnier, having an AWD in AZ or the image of 3 people trying to fit 3 snowboards in a GS and going in a car with 20" rims

right, i was thinking they would fit in the trunk, but thats not going to happen, if the back seat split and layed down, it would be no problem. I didnt realize what a hassle the awd is other wise i would have never bought it. i wanted a white 3gs, and this was the only one in my price range. we are only going to flagstaff, so i dont see what the big deal about going in a car on 20s is, ive seen suvs on 24s and 26s up there all the time.

by how much does it not fit in the trunk? possibly to wrap the ends of the board with a boards with a blanket and close the trunk most the way, then just tie a bungee chord or a string from the latch to the lid.

Another way to do this, I guess, is to put the boards upright in the front passenger seat, wrap a blanket around them and tie them to the headrest so they don't slide around. The two friends can sit in the back. Not pretty but at least it'll meet your goal.
