so… if your coming to chicago… myself and boomin99gt… would um show you the best 80’s dance club in chicago :-p
If you trailer it open and put a cover on it, you will be very sorry. The wind will make the cover rub no matter how soft it is. The paint will be swirled. You are better off just towing without a cover.
what i was planning on doing was putting the cover on then wrapping the whole thing with like 3 rolls of ducttape, so that it is tight agains the car, in a cacoon of tape… is that a bad idea…
As long as it is tight as can be. Any movement in the cover will screw it up. My friend brought some equipment from NJ to VA last week. Was tightly shrinked wrapped. Wind destroyed it in the first 50 miles.
wrap the hell out of it if you do.
-edit- damn it. slow.
hmm… maybe i will go sans cover… that means i will have to wash the shit out of it tho…
NOONE has an enclosed trailer?
I drove my 99 WS6 T/A from Washington, DC to Buffalo 450 miles on January 2nd, 2001. So much snow and ice that I had to keep opening the hood and unpack the snow around the motor. The car looked like hell when I got here. Washed it up and hosed the under carraige. No problems. My case was much worse than what you’ll go through. At least it will be up on a trailer.
hmm, ok, thanks butch.
my dad has an 05 f150 with 1000 miles on it… i am trying to convince him to let me use it…
yea and newman can pickup the 400 dollars you still owe me and ignore all my pm’s and messages :tup: :tup:
ok.
the best bet is to try to see if you can get some of that self adhesive plastic they use for shipping cars to the dealership, youll have to steal it off one of the cars on the lot
the problem with a car cover i that its still going to flap in the wind between the tape lines
well… you didnt see the cacoon of tape i had in mind…
why not just hitch someones trailer to ur sti???
:pimp:
ive got an non enclosed trailer i didnt read any of the thread pm me if its what you need.
even a cover with tape is a bad idea. no cover, or fully enclosed.
Dont know WHY you feel the need for fully enclosed. I’ve trailed lots of cars on my open 19ft hauler and not had any problems. So what, you need to wash the car, you should probably be doing things like washing it, changing fluids, doing tire pressures anyway before you put it away for the winter. A car cover is a very very very stupid idea. Even after 500 miles anything that can rub, will, and will destroy whatever it’s rubbing against.
Anyway, for $150 I think you’re going to be hard pressed to find someone willing to let you borrow their rig, or willing to drive and pick it up for you. Professional companies are no where near that cheap, and unless you have a close friend with some sort of rig I dont see you getting anyone else to do it that cheaply.
no shit. hence the reason why i am posting here and not calling “professional companies”
i want an enclosed trailer because it is in a showroom right now, perfectly clean. I don’t have a hose at my apartment, so i have no good way to get it really clean. There is a carwash nextdoor, but no underbody. Get it?
Wow, you totally missed the point of my post. I’m not being a dick to you, so dont jump all over my shit.
you are going to be way better off w/ no cover, it’ll be behind the truck, it won’t get super nasty anyway.
I’m not sure how you think the underbody is going to get trashed while it’s ona trailer really.
sorry man, misinterpreted your tone…
i am def going with no cover. the weather is supposed to be nice the weekend… i might just drive it…
