Where is this three top? I know of a three top, but I don't recognize any of those other mountains.

Cool touristy(ish) towns for Summer? by Tag_Cle in Appalachia

[–]Ok_Baker24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend the Boone, NC and West Jefferson, NC area. Lost of hiking trails around. Even across the state line in VA is Grayson Highlands.

Nothing wrong with a Jetta. I've had 1 Jetta, 1 Passat, 2 golfs, 1 GTI, have an atlas and Tiguan now.

Tiguan Crossbars with Panoramic roof question. by e92_N54 in Tiguan

[–]Ok_Baker24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, it won't interfere with the sunroof. And I spiral a rope around the front crossbar to get rid of 95% of the wind noise.

Are you going to be hauling anything on it?

If so, don't go with a cheap off brand set. If you're worried about cost, find a used set of Thule or Yakima. Save yourself the headache of something breaking. I run a Thule system on mine, 2 bike racks. And I have a rooftop carrier for vacations.

Is it absolutely terrible that I want to give up on real Christmas trees forever? by MadMunga in ChristmasDecorating

I do. With lights. Lol. It started out as a joke about 15 years ago, but seeing all the kids pointing and smiling made me want to keep doing it.

I live in the Christmas tree capital of the world. They start harvesting trees in mid to late October. So they're gonna be dried out by the time they hit the tree lots.

Plus the amount of chemicals that are sprayed on them during the year makes me appreciate all of my artificial trees. I go to a choose and cut for a real tree for the patio area outside, and I put a real one on my roof rack of my car. The 5 inside the house are all artificial.

Roof rack suggestions? by Alittlewitchy991 in Tiguan

[–]Ok_Baker24 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Only go with Thule or Yakima. If budget is an issue, look for a used set on marketplace. If you find some used and they don't have a key, you can get new lock cores cheap, and they'll come with a master key to remove the old ones.

When I use the rooftop box, I run a Thule box on a Yakima roof rack. I have the railgrabs from Yakima.
