Default Snowboard/Skiers who own S2000

Who owns or knows someone who has an S2000 as their primary car who snowboard/skis? I am about to relocate and will be looking into an S2000 a few months after I move, but I also snowboard and need to be able to fit the board in the car. Obviously, the board wont fit in the trunk. Does anyone know of a trunk mounted ski rack? That seems like the only solution. A 350z is my second option but I don't want to have to buy suspension immediatly.

Someone get creative and help me out. Thanks!

Well the creative option is to wear a winter jacket, open the top, and stick your snowboard/skis out the roof.

Why don't you just keep your Focus and buy the S2K?! Problem solved.

What size board do you ride? You can fit a 155 in the passenger side with the top up.

Snap back into reality--you cannot afford an S2000 if you can't have/afford a second car.

My 156 board and 178 skiis both fit just fine with the top up or down in the passengers side seat. For the skiis, some creative top raising is required to get them to fit. You have to lower the top, put in/remove the skiis, then raise the top.
