I have to to have the bike inside because of where I'll likely be parking while at work...

No problems with this. I fold down both seats and fits easily.

Why not get a roof rack for your bike(s) instead of stuffing them in the back of your clubman? It's way more functional, and less risk of tearing up your upholstery.

I don't feel comfortable leaving a several-thousand dollar bike on a roof rack while parked in a downtown parking lot while I'm at work...

Yeah, I hear you in that regard. I guess your situation is unique. Most people don't tote their bikes to and from work.

Car Max Warranty

I have never purchased a vehicle from Car Max, but I have enoyed reading Doug DeMuro's articles on Japopnik about buying a notoriously unreliable Land Rover from Car Max. He has written a number of articles about using the warranty, all informative and enjoyable and humorous. Here is a link to one:

^ great article and that's what made me ask the Carmax question in the first place... reading through the comments, it seems like the Carmax warranty is legit...

thanks
