Ya, I have a chevy Impala 2003, but it doesn't have a hitch, so I can't get a hitch bike rack like I want (i need a car rack that will LOCKE to my car so it won't be stolen) soooooo................this might be a dumb question but is there no way to attached a hitch to my car?

Yes. Here are some examples.

Check with your dealer or local auto parts supplier.

i'm pretty sure that a hitch can be put onto any car. go to an autozone or pep boys and talk to them. hitch racks are definately worth it, so look into it

Another source would be your local U-Haul. They sell hitches for just about anything. Here's one that says it will fit.

I'm tired of jamming my bike into my 2000 Sentra, so I've looked into adding a hitch as well. Hidden Hitch appears to be very good, and I know people who have used their hitches and are satisfied with them:
