Default Safely transporting freshly painted Cobra...

Okay, my Cobra is in the paint booth at Ken's, so that means I'll be heading up to pick it up in the next 2-3 weeks.

Yeah, Baby! Yeah!!!

Transporting it back, I'll rent an open, flatbed U-haul trailer to tow behind my Tahoe. I'm concerned about rock chips and road debris marring my new paint job while I haul it down on the trailer.

Is this really a concern, or am I being retentive?

I'm considering putting a layer of plastic (sticky stuff, used by auto mechanics and hauling companies for new cars) and then putting a car cover over that, then tying that down with lots of rope.

So now, tell me, retentive or not?

What have some of you done to protect your new paint while hauling your Cobra back? Anyone not protect their paint, only to be sorry later?

Lastly, my God, I've been Cobraless for nearly two months. How was I able to live like this before I got my Cobra?!?
