The roofs of cars are fairly a lot just "there." Within the winter, they serve to keep the driver and passengers dry and warm. Within the summer, car roofs serve to keep the driver and passengers dry and cool. That is essentially where the purposes and usefulness of car roofs end -- or is it?
Think space! There's a limited amount of space inside the passenger compartment of a car and even much less space within the luggage compartment. Most of the time, the limited space is not an issue. We drive our cars to work or to school. The merchandise we acquire on a standard basis is easily accommodated within the space provided. We can transport groceries, laundry, and kids in the allotted spaces provided for passengers and luggage in our cars with out a difficulty every day of the week. But then the weekend comes along every five days.
On the weekends we use the very exact same cars that we use throughout the week, but now the limited luggage space becomes a huge problem. We determine we want to go camping. We have to take camping equipment, bicycles, etc. and the luggage compartment is just not going to do the trick. Now what?
The answer is fairly simple. You'll find roof boxes and roof racks (at times referred to as cargo carriers or luggage racks) that may be bought or even rented which will accommodate all of that additional "stuff" that you would like to take with you on your weekend trips and outings. Likewise, if you are planning an extended car trip and your luggage compartment won't hold everything you'll need to take with you, roof boxes or cargo boxes are waterproof and supply a location which is just as safe as the luggage compartment inside your car.
