    Whats the deal with the roof top box's?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I seen an Audi in EuroCar magazine with a roof top box, and now this one @ H20...



    Is it a fashion statement or something? A Yuppie statement?

    Re: Whats the deal with the roof top box's?

    Never seen that car before. The print is cool but don't think I'd want that on my car. My luggage on the other hand, has some crazy prints so I can find it in the airport.

    Did you read why that S4 in Eurotuner has it?

    Utilitarian!

    I rock my roof-top box all year 'round. It houses all my snowboard stuff in the winter, bike stuff in the summer and luggage all the time.




    Oh, and the dead hooookers go up there too. 20cuFt holds a lot of 'em FTW!

    roof boxes on anything but an avant = gay
    it just fits the utilitarian theme of the wagon.

    whoa that plaid is... interesting. I think I'd just put a normal silver box on a silver car, and leave the plaid for my disco pants.

    I purposely bought our house 1/2 way between the mtns and work. That way i can easily justify bailing on work and going riding.

    I purposely bought my house within 2 miles of the nearest trailhead so I can go mountain biking all the time.

    out here you can't just drive 'up to' the mountains, you have to drive into them for about 50 miles. if there's a snow storm that's another issue. quattro is the only solution, our cars kick 95% of SUV's asses, and for the most part the only other contender is a subaru. audi FTW!

    The roof top box is cool when you go skiing but it makes a loud wind noise and increase fuel consumption... It practical but not cool all year long IMO... I think it looks better on an avant...

    They are super cool on avants and they look very useful. My job is about an hour from many of the Pocono mountains so I bring my board to work and hit it right after sometimes too.
