Amen!!  You know, for something that at its worst costs $400 a 
year, it sure does add a pretty significant element to quality of life.
I've been places and seen wilderness within an hours drive of home, 
places that would never even have touched my awareness without 
having the big blue kazoo strapped to the top of my car.

This summer I'll be able to take a backcountry trip in Texas that is 
completely inaccessible to most people and methods.

It does have a rather large hit up front; but most of the gear is very 
durable, and will give years of service.
