Project: Aerodynamic Roof Rack

So most of you probably don't know this, but the Geo got rear ended Friday. Big ole truck hit it at a red light. Messed up the bumper and the tail lights. I will fix it my self after (hopefully) collecting some insurance money from the wreck. But I have a new project, a roof rack. The rack will house a train horn and needs to be somewhat closed. I will Photoshop some images so you get the idea of what i'm doing, but as of right now I have to get the Geo ready.

Sorry to hear about the Geo. I hope the truck's driver gets skinned alive by insurance.
But you're OK, right? No neck problems?

Pfft. Railroad horn. Get a lighthouse fog siren; now that's a real man's horn.

My dad got hit, not me. Although he "may" have some neck problem. Suck the DA for all he's worth. I mean, who hits a car AT the redlight, when you are both stopped?

Piddle around, get piddle around results. Put a nuclear warhead up there. That'll get their attention.
