I think a cedar-strip cartop box would be cool.  If you had the ability
to build a cedar strip canoe or kayak, a cedar-strip cartop box wouldn't
be hard to design and build.  You could probably go to your local Yakima
or Thule dealer and buy a replacement lock so your original rack key
would even unlock the box.

Steve Cramer said of Sears X-Cargo's:

If you could tie a diamond hitch over it, that would make it slightly
cooler. I've never heard of a diamond hitch being used on a vehicle, but
I like it!

Who never could master the diamond hitch on a horse pack.
