So I recently bought a new car (2011 Honda CR-V) and have been looking at snowboard racks for it.
Originally I was pretty set on getting a regular snowboard rack like the Yakima powder hound or something along those lines but a friend of mine recently told me he has a Thule frontier cargo box he'd be willing to sell to me for cheap. I figured the cargo box might be good so that I can carry more then just snowboards in it for long trips back and forth between east and west coast but still on the fence on which I want to go with.
Pretty much just wondering what other people's experience has been with either and any pro's or con's you guys may have noticed after owning something like one of these. Big thing I'm wondering is difference with wind noise and gas mileage or if their would even be a difference between the 2.
