i was just wondering what is an accepted way to attach your shark fins to your cars. making the actual fin is easy, we just dont know how to get in on there without using epoxy (and i dont think epoxy is a last resort)

thanks BN

rope may work, hole the bottom of the fin and tie through the car. Just make sure you open the doors first. I tied my car shut one year with a Christmas tree.

They sell flexible magnetic sheets at Staples.
Epoxy the fin to the sheet, and it's reusable!!
All you'd need to be sure of is that you had enough magnet surface area for the size and wind resistance of the fin.

Finz ON!!!!!

Me too....I just hope no one was tied inside the car

roof rack boat/bike/luggage strap it on the roof and bolt on the fin to the
rack strap fits on the lip of the rain gutter se we don't tie ourselves in.

I feel your pain. A few years back we went to Lowes to look for a screen door. Somehow I was deluded enough to think we could fit it in the trunk of my Nissan Sentra. (After all, the back seat does lay down. Spacial relations has never been my strong point.) Anyway, we found one we liked on clearance sale. Of course it doesn't fit and we can't return it since it was on clearance. So the friendly Lowes man shrink wrapped the door to our roof. You know that supersized plastic wrap used on shipping skids? And we had to wrap it with the doors closed so the wrap wouldn't tear when we shut the door on it. Now we live about 75 miles from Lowes and we didn't have enough gas to get home. So we had to stop at the Exxon with our screen door wrapped to the car and climb out the windows like we were the Dukes of Hazzard.

OMG that is so funny! I wish I was at the gas station with my video camera in the car. I would have gotten that on video and sent it to Funniest Home Video. No doubt that would have won top prize

I manage to tie the car closed several times a year. Christmas...trips to Home Depot, Fall decorations... you name it, I've done it. It's nice when you do it and also have manual windows that you only lowered far enough to slip the rope through.

Then I cry.

I really need to stop reading these because they are ALL cracking me up. I know this is gonna happen the next time I have a big purchase at Home Depot or Lowes or getting my next Christmas tree.

Then I will have that little voice inside my head saying....see that's what you get for laughing at all of your stories.

I want to know how the Christmas tree was stretched enough to wrap around the car and tie the doors shut ?

OKay here's my defense.
It was an early morning, and i thought I'd surprise the girlfriend. I had a little honda civic and so I bought a good size tree, rolled down the windows and there ya go, I tied the doors shut.
I know that really doesn't help.
