Small red car with SIMRAD radar antenna housing?

Anybody else see this thing? Looked it up, SIMRAD sells boat equipment?

Broadband Radar™ | SIMRAD BR24 | Marine Radar

Just a ham operator using that as a shell? Or is there a reason someone would mount a small radar to a cars roof?

When it snows, you won't have to scrape the snow and ice off your windshield

SIMRAD also makes mobile/marine satellite dishes. He could have Dish Network in the car.

Most likely a "storm chaser".

Many are volunteers and use their own cars.

That actually makes sense with all the storms the past few days.

You'd be surprised at what some of these people
chase storms in! Everything from an armored vehicle
to a two-seater convertible!

Google "storm chasers" and see what you get! A lot
of pictures out there of people and vehicles and gear.

They work with what they've got. Volunteers. Not
much "budget" there....
