Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for December 02, 2022

Did you rack your brains over it Arlo?

The ones around here seem to be just for show.

And now you know. They’re Christmas rails! 8^ )

And Janis looks annoyed…why?

Did I miss something? Why is Janis scowling?

I guess he can rack that up to a new experience.

He doesn’t remember last Christmas?

Surfboards, Kayaks, skis, and Christmas trees. that’s what the carry rails are made for.

Wow, she’s really mad.

He is obviously not an overlander.

Really appreciating how the vehicle is drawn so it cannot possibly be a plug for any manufacturer. Also, have trees gone up in price? What am I thinking, of course they have. That’s probably a 10 year old tree but that last year of growth was really really expensive what with the war and supply chain and such.

I give you…. The Griswold family Christmas tree

I’ve noticed a lot of cars with large plastic carry-containers on the roof. They’re often on top of mini-vans that have lots of room in them. Do people not realize aerodynamics and the extra fuel cost incurred by having them up there???

OK, quit glaring at each other and watch the road before you wind up stuck under a truck!!!

Scenario for why she appears mad:

“What about my rack? You don’t love me, anymore! [Sniffle]” ☺

How did they transport their tree last year? Did they just buy the vehicle? I have one on the top of my Nitro but I have never used it, same with the Jeep Cherokee I had.

To keep our beloved actor Mayhem from falling off this time.

Seems to me that maybe Janis is scowling because she would like to travel bit and use that luggage rack for more than taking a Christmas tree home. If so, she should just say so.

Bit of slippage in the drivetrain there. Janis looks worried.

Hope he did it right……

Maybe she’s scowling because it’s dripping pine sap on the windshield???

I’m waving at all the other drivers with a tree tied to the roof. #MightyHunters
