    Pickups are for farm workers, Land Rovers for farm owners.

        I like Europe... but I'd try Texas, Tennessee, Montana or Canada if I had the chance!

            I used to have a 1985 Olds Delta 88... a boat of a car. When I needed to transport a quantity of items, I purchased a roof box, drilled holes, attached securing points and put it on top of the car. No racks, just the car top. I then used ratchet straps from the securing points; the straps when just between the doors and the roof. Low cost and effective.

            Long ago, when I'd commute now and then cross country, I bought a Sears "strap on" roof rack. Worked for a family of five for many years - best of all, removable when I didn't need it. Fit nicely atop a used Buick Century. I hate permanent installations for transient needs.

              the real question here is. How much Vodka will it hold when you are done?

                  You can use a roof box as cover.

                  What is the difference between cover and concealment? Cover shields you from fire, concealment merely hides your position. Depending on what you put in it, the roof box is almost definitely concealment and not cover. In fact, only two places on a car can function as cover, the rest is barely even concealment...

                    I think that was an option on the earlier Hummers... :-D
