Well personally I carry my bike and snowboards on mine, due to my boards being too big to fit in the car and not having to stuff my bike in the hatch area. But I do see alot of people with them that just have them for a "look". Oh well, guess they have money to burn.

It's stupid to get a bike/ski rack if you don't need it.

Even if you do use a roof rack for it's purpose, but don't have a bike, skis, etc. on it at all times, you will be called a ricer (at least as long as the car is modified).

Racks are a pain in the *** to put back onto a car if you haven't done it all the time. It does affect gas mileage though, so it'd be nice to be able to take off when it's not in use.
