I hate to admit it, but this is mine ... 3 covers and 2 quilts.
Gotta protect it from the animals! (humans included) Cheesy

Unfortunately, it takes 15-20 minutes just to get out of the garage!

I knew they made those for motorcycles but not for cars ... far out.
How big a footprint does that take up?

Hi


The stated footprint is not much help as the thing "balloons" when inflated- it is a little tight with the garage door but it fits just..  Cheesy

Assume one and a half beetles is a good guide at the widest points of the balloon.

I bought it after we moved- the electrician moved the car to do some works (despite being told not to) and then closed the garage door on the bonnet.  Angry.

I had it repainted and then dropped something on the bonnet and front wing myself. The kids run in there and the dogs do the same so this is just insurance.

I liked it with the wide-5s, but this looks like it is ready to eat some pavement!

Well done, Tx Tom!

Holy MOLY!
I'm starting to feel lucky I can keep it inside.
I just don't know how some keep their rides so clean ... maybe they don't have west Texas DUST blowing in constantly? Cheesy
I like the bubble deal, 'cept for the size.
