[DML] Re: Flatbedding Delorean - to cover or not to cover?

["twinenginedmc12" <twinenginedmc12@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello.

It's best not to cover it, in my experience.  The cover will polish the 
stainless as it flaps around.  I've towed my car covered 2000 miles, 
and no matter how hard I tried to secure the cover, it still flapped 
here and there, leaving a few minor shiny marks.   The car should be 
towed facing forward though, if uncovered, lest the wind pull off the 
louvers and hood.
