The invention is a ventilated vehicle roof rack carrier such as a cargo box for transporting items such as athletic equipment or other personal items on top of a car. The cargo box has a rigid housing shell. The housing has a top shell and a bottom shell. The top shell and the bottom shell are connected together by one or more hinges. The top shell further has at least two opposing vents for drawing air into the housing shell body and allowing air to exit the housing shell body. The cargo box also has a means in communication with the housing for attaching the housing to the vehicle. The means for attaching is a rail system with engagement means for attaching the rail system to the vehicle. The rail system further has a first articulating rail and a second articulating rail oriented in parallel relationship to each other. The pair of articulating rails are mounted to the lower shell and permit the housing to slide beyond a top surface of the vehicle and hinge downward relative to the top surface of the vehicle.
