buy a used trailer and add the hobie cradles to it - it rides smooth, you don't have to unload it when u get home and will save your back too..

 The ultimate small car solution.I on the other hand have been good this year, and next tuesday I'll have a new PA14 on the back of my F250! Stopped off at Oceanside Dive & Kayak this afternoon and put in the order. I've been reading reports of guys putting PA's on Thule Hullavator's (with cradle modification) and it works - even though they are only rated for 70 pounds, thats 70 pounds less you have to lift. After I save up for a Lowrance HDS I'll get a set of those to help with the loading, I figure if it sucks I'll use it for loading the touring kayak... |

Man up and use the dam truck....
 And get a friend to go a split the fuel...I haul in a 2011 F250 FX4 Crew Cab, 8 ft bed with a shell, and get 17 mpg's I use 9.4 gals of fuel to LJ and back from Cypress.. Why bust a nut lumping a toad PA onto the roof of a small car  You'll spend way more than that on a Chriopractor, or 3/4 day boat.. a dinner out, or at a Bar drinking you back problems away...

Don't know about a dinky little HHR, but a Durango hauls one just fine.

I need to post a pic with my stealth-14 on top of my vw camper... Now that should impress some of you guys. I figured out a way to put it up that takes about 3 min.. on my own. Mind you that thing has to be over 7ft tall.
