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?

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.
