Another use could be a rocker launcher for PT Cruiser's

 

A rounded front cap would have better aerodynamics. Just kidding.Great job. Last trip I just strapped 6 rods to the top of our Explorer and out in the weather.

 

Nice job on the rod holder 55bowtie, and you know that any good Kannapolis boy would never waste a perfectly good rocket on a PT, right Al?

 

Yep, that will work. The only way your getting it inside, is with the right, rear and front, seats folded down. I have carried a seven foot ladder that way, but I was alone in the car.

 

or how bout a red nosecone..couple finns in the back and a sticker that sais...DONT TEMP ME!!!...lol...just kiddn..give the troopers sumthin to scratch over!!

 

I seriously like that. Nice job! Do you think the stock rails and the universal cross pieces could handle a couple of 50lb kayaks?

Looking at your carport it looks like we have something besides a red HHR in common. Even if ours is a bit older.
