A flexible, car-top-transportable baggage carrier, comprising in combination:
- an aerodynamically streamlined car, free of rain gutter protuberances, having a roof, a door, and an interior head liner adjacent the top of said door;
- a baggage enclosure made of flexible material
- a strap coupled to said enclosure for coupling said enclosure to said roof of said aerodynamically streamlined car, said strap having a distal end;
- means coupled to said distal end of said strap for coupling said strap to said interior head liner of said aerodynamically streamlined car adjacent said top of said door for maintaining said enclosure on said roof of said car;
- said baggage enclosure being made using a single length of material by the process comprising the steps of:
- selecting a length of flexible material having a width W;
- designating a first region, centered on said selected length of material, defining a front face of said enclosure, said front face being generally rectangular in shape, having two longer sides lying perpendicular to said selected length of material, and being shorter in length than the width W of said material;
- designating a second region having a side as long as and adjacent to a first of said longer sides of said rectangular shaped front face and defining a bottom of said enclosure and being generally rectangular in shape;
- designating a third region having a side as long as and adjacent to a second of said longer sides of said rectangular shaped front face and defining atop of said enclosure and being generally rectangular in shape;
- designating a fourth generally rectangular shaped region having two longer sides parallel to said two longer sides of said face and extending from said bottom along said selected length of material and defining a lower parts of a rear face of said enclosure;
- designating a fifth generally rectangular shaped region having two longer sides parallel to said two longer sides of said face and extending from said top along said selected length of material and defining an upper part of said rear face of said enclosure;
- designating a sixth and a seventh region positioned one along each of the remaining opposed sides of said bottom and extending outward from said bottom along said width W of said selected length of material, said sixth region defining a lower right side of said enclosure and said seventh region defining a lower left side of said enclosure;
- designating an eight and a ninth region positioned one along each of the remaining opposed sides of said top and extending outward from said top along said width W of said selected length of material, said eight region defining an upper right side of said enclosure and said ninth region defining an upper left side of said enclosure;
- and
- joining adjacent exterior edges of said regions to form said car-top-transportable baggage enclosure.
