The end of innovation, takeover by the evil empire.

I had an older hitch rack where the company was sold to Thule and then I couldn't get parts for it. Hope that doesn't happen with Sportsworks, I like my rack...the guy who started Sportworks must be doing pretty well now!

Don't knock Thule

Sportworks didn't have to sell to Thule. I'd be more mad at them than Thule. Its not like Thule came in with guns and knives and said "Sell us your company or we'll kill you!" They probably waved the right dollar amount in front of the owners and the rest is history. That said, Thule's always done okay by me. When they took over Carite (spelling?), who used to make the boxes for them, Thules boxes got easier to use and easier to install, and if its important to you, they're made in America. I'm looking forward to the Thule Hullavator for my sea kayak, even if it is pricey as heck.
