Lately I'm noticing a trend in Chattanooga that is growing exponentially. I think it has everything to do with the mayor's plan for an "Outdoor-sy Chattanooga." I'm talking about those sporty car-racks.. I mean, I feel like I'm in Boulder or Tacoma or Bend.. It's awesome!
It's really cool seeing a fancy car, such as a Mercedes or Range Rover, with a cheap mountain-bike or whatever system on top. You're rich, and you have time for leisure, Go you! It seems like the rusty old luggage carrier my Dad strapped to the roof of the car every year around Christmas just won't cut it anymore. Now you need a Thule or Rocky Mounts or Yakima--had some friends move to Yakima, desolate place.
Anyway, in my effort to look sporty, I am looking for the cheapest possible car rack that will go with my factory rack on a Ford Escape. I'm looking at these Thule strappy things, but I'm not sure they would work for a kayak AND a canoe. Would they go with my North Face and Rock/Creek stickers?

I recommend buying a knee brace and a mesh baseball hat if you don't already have one. I hope to soon see pictures of you totally doing the Dad-playing-sports thing.
