where do you put your snowboard?

Just bought a snowboard and found out the rear seat doesnt fold. Will it fit in the back seat? my board is 165cm.

it wont fit in the ski pass.. that ski pass is only for ski's only. you can angle it from the floor to the opposite window.. basically diagnolly across but i would put a towel because the board would have to rest on the leather...

Buy a SUV or truck the CL is a 2 door luxury sport sedan. Why would you want to scratch the fuck out of your interior anyway?

i lay back the passenger seat and put the board on the seat and floorboard. one end of the board rests on a towel right at the top of the seat but below the headrest, the other end is on the floorboard near the firewall. i adjust the seat so the board doesn't sit flat on the bottom cushion.


the only problem is then you have a scissor sharp edge sitting right next to you. it would be a bad time to get into an accident.

Just drive up to Orange County and have the OCC boys fabricate a snowboard holder that doubles as a rear spoiler. Then have Nubby paint it up real nice like. Make sure the board points down in the front so it will increase the downforce.

If that's not an option, then buy a Subaru Outback for stuff like that, and leave the CLS for the activities for which is was designed. Like sucking the headlights out of Altimas and blowing the doors off the catatonically boring Toyota and Lexus vehicles whose owners actually think they have a fun, spirited road car when, in fact all they have is a sluggish, spongey insanely expensive (albeit reliable) ugly-ass grocery getter and rug rat shuttle. ¡Viva Honda!

Snowboarding? Crappy weather... Road services putting down chemicals, rocks and sand for traction which dings your windfield and paint.. Not to mention the dumbass drivers in the parking lots that can't drive in snow and may run into you without leaving any notes. That's what my 1997 Honda Accord is for ..... The Acura is for warm summer days with the sunroof open. Live in Colorado myself. Now what it's like. Winters are harsh. My Accord has been takin a poundin.......
