Question about hauling a car...
Is it ok to haul a car on an open trailer with a car cover on the car?
I have heard some people say that not only is it ok, but it is a good idea as it protects from the weather, rock chips, bird poop, etc.
I have heard some people say that if you do this, sand and dirt will most certainly get trapped under the cover and be ground into the paint.
It seems to me that if the cover fits the car, minimal if any dirt at all will get up under the cover. What do you guys think?

friend had to repaint a show car becasue he had a cover on it when it went up the coast.
dont put one on. and if you can, get an inclosed one and ask to be on the top.

no cover. Maybe you should invest in one of those clear car bra sticker thingys they have now. If you feel you need a cover for your car, think of mercedes or any open trailer with an exotic on board, when they deliver cars across country, none of them have a cover. New cars just have stickers, so I would at the very most, buy some stickers.

Amtrak
If you are going North to South, the only route the AutoCar on Amtrak offers, you can get a sleeping berth, covered inside their double height cars, from Lorton Va. to Sanford Fla. for $560. Great deal and everything came out perfect. About a 24 hour trip including two meals and loading/unloading time.
