What's wrong with the factory racks on Minivans?

I just didn't care. Still don't.

If I cared, do you think I'd be driving a 14 yr old car? I've been promising
myself to fix up some paint chips and dings for a few years now. As long
as the rustproofing holds out, I can't get too concerned.

It is a tad embarassing if I take someone "special" for a drive and
they get a face full of pine needles or other forest stuff blown out of the
car's air vents. But then I remember the famous photo of Bill Mason's
early '70s Toyota with a gazzillion canoes on a rack, driving where most
folks would be afraid to take their SUV and remember what cars are really for
(Photo in Path of the Paddle - or was it Song of the Paddle?).

I still don't understand why other peoples' cars and trucks seem so sensitive
to roof racks, tie downs and stuff. Maybe paying for that paint protection coating
option was worth it?
