I am surprised to learn someone else was interested. When I search on "Speedster Humps" most of the threads contain comments from people who don't like them. If it turns out that I'm not using them as much as I thought I would, I'll send you a PM. For the record, they do have some minor flaws. They must have started life on a red car. They seem to have been professionally painted, but in the spots where they rub against each other, you can see the red paint underneath. Fortunately, the flaws aren't obvious when the humps are on the car.

Returning to my storage, issue, I picked up a moving blanket at Harbor Freight. It was on sale for $4.99. Here's the method I'm using:

1. Put passenger side hump at the bottom, rotated approximately 180 degrees from its installed orientation.



2. Cover with moving blanket. (I will trim the blanket and explored making it into a bag.)



Here's the part where I'm stuck. It looks like this configuration (with the driver's side hump oriented in the same direction as when its installed) might fit under the closed trunk lid.



Rotated the other way, it looks like the trunk lid will hit it. I may have misunderstood BFeller's post, but it appears he is recommending that I rotate the driver's side 180 degrees from its installed configuration. (I've found it usually works well to heed the voice of experience.) In my car, the vertical part of the trunk that houses the coolant, and oil filler and the dipstick is preventing the driver's side hump from sliding far enough to the right and rear. I have not been pushing hard when aligning the humps out of concern for damaging them.

Thanks in advance for comments or suggestions.
