    One note if you use the PVC tube and slide on caps make sure that you drill and screw into the tube to keep the cap closed. In October or November. In was going down I-65 south and watched a family in a suv with the tube tied to the top of the car. The cap came off the end and the rods came flying out on the pavement. I tried to collect the rods as he slowed down 1/2 mile or more away and I took him the remaining parts to him. Never seen something like that happen.

    That hurts just to read about. I'd have hit "like" but that's the opposite of my feelings on the situation. You are a good soul to risk life and limb for the unlucky owner.
