it goes blankets on the car first, then a tarp over that, then a car cover, then another tarp. i HIGHLY doubt, any water will get through all of that, i didnt want the tarp right up on the paint of the car..

I was snowmobiling up there 3 weeks ago, then it got hot and almost all the snow melted. I hear they got enough snow up there again to ride though.

we ride up there as well. one of my friends has a place in manitowish waters and another buddy has one in mercer. we can usually get into eagle river on the trail system in like an hour or so from their places if we ride hard(which we always do). need snow around here, my F7 has been sitting since that damned stupid *** meltdown a few weeks ago that ruined the trails.
