No matter how well I fit a bike rack to my car I always have a bit of worry that some calamity is going to occur when doing 70 (ish!) down the m5.
Way back in the day when I was working on a mag we had a load of test bikes fall of the back of a car on the way to a photoshoot - in fact the whole rack fell off, it didn't do 'em any good at least one very expensive road bike was totalled
at least DZ doesnt have to pay for another.
Once when I went out to the pyrenees for an mtb holiday with some mates the chap from the gite came to pick us up with a trailer, and we crammed the bikes in. he went over a bump at about 60 and they all flew out and into a ditch. luckily they were all still boxed up so no harm done!
