Product review: Highland Kar-Pak Car Top Roof Carrier
We've had the Highland Kar-Pak since our first family trip to Disney World in 2002, and we've used it many a times since: trips to Disney World, trips to Gulf Shores, a few visits to Texas and, the big one, our evacuation from New Orleans a few days before Hurricane Katrina struck. Not to be overly glowing, but this thing helped us save a lot more since we could cram it full.
What most people do wrong
when installing their car top carriers!
Spock Boxes: Definition: looks like the box Mr. Spock was shot into space in while a bagpipe-laden funeral was conducted in his honor in Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan.
Okay, so what's the beef with spock boxes?
Well, most people, actually more like 99.997%, mount their car top carriers backwards! And yes, even the companies that make these carriers promote this backwardness. So don't feel too bad about it. But it's backwards!!!
This is what I mean and what it means to you...
The nose of an airplane is rounded, all trailing edges are tapered, and there's a good reason for this. It's called aerodynamics. It saves money among other things, like rounded leading edges and tapered trailing edges cut wind resistance and reduce fuel usage significantly.
If everyone who owned a spock box would go with the "flow," and mount their Spock boxes with the blunt end forward instead of the sharp end (which supposedly looks like it's slicing into the wind but it isn't), think how much petroleum this might save over the course of each year!
Rising gas prices are taking a bite out of everyone's wallets - let's at least do this much for ourselves to increase our own fuel efficiency!
