For those of you out there that don’t think this is possible.
I only had to strap it to the top because this tree was too tall to fit inside.
Now I have a fair number of miles on my car and really don’t car about the odd scratch or sap. If that bothers you, then you could put down a blanket or something. Gabe did once, but I can’t find the picture. Maybe he’ll be kind enough to link it up for us in the comments ;)

Your paintwork still looks very good :)
Not bad for 177K miles anyway! ;)
Thanks Ian!
Aw man! I agree about the paint lookin’ good!
I guess I should wash my car and use that new wax I got.
I said it once, twice, and I’ll say it again:
That, is just wrong. Wrong!
:P

How is your new year looking? I love the tree on top of the car thats great!
so far, besides having to replace the power steering pump, it’s going fairly well!
