Doesnt the rear seat fold down?

Stick your boards in through the trunk in sideways between your front seats if they are that long.

Other than that your only option is to wedge them in the back seat area and maybe go up to the mountain with the top down lol...

According to a few google sales it looks like the 2003 has fold down rear seats, or atleast a fold down center section you could probably fit a board in...

Another option is to set them along the passenger side of the car with the passenger seat pushed forward and leaning forward...2nd rider has to sit in the driver side rear...shouldnt be too hard to get in with the top down.

thanks for the ideas.. ill have to try it out..

i dont think i want to rent a car because... well i just started to ride at the very end of this season and i went EVERY weekend for like 6 weeks in a row.. lol renting a car would get kind of costly.. maybe i can move some stuff around.. try to squeeze them in on an angle or something..

the other week I saw a VW bug that had a hitch mount that had two boards on it. That is always an option if you can convince her she needs to put a hitch on her new car. Good luck with that.
