Once I'm finished with the CMC build, I'd like to free up my garage spot. I'm going to have to pay to store the trailer, so I figured I might as well get an enclosed trailer so I can just keep the car in it.
Anyone do it? Any concerns or problems? Thanks, Steve |

If you really want "good" aero, put a trailing v on the back. Most of the drag comes from the rear. But it will be a pain accounting for the extra 4 foot when backing up, unloading etc. But you could save some serious gas if done right, imo.
