Possible to fit 7 Bikes in a Van/SUV?
remove the wheels
spin the bar 
turn the fork 180 to pick up a bit
remove the seat with post
remove the pedals (this is also for damage control)
use boxes for padding
wheels on top 
deflate the tires


I think I could get 7 in my 4 Runner but it would be close.   

You could even drop the fork and leave the cables attached to put the bar in the triangle.
