Last winter I put such a sheet under my DeLorean while it was garaged.  One day we had a thaw, and snow melting in my driveway trickled into my garage.  That sheet prevented the puddle from going down the drain properly.  The next day the freezing weather came back.  For the next month or two, my DeLorean's tires were trapped in about four inches of ice.

Imagine John DeLorean meets Ernest Shackleton.  No damage was done, but seeing my DeLorean up to its wheel hubs in ice was a bit disturbing.

A Carcoon might have prevented this, since no water or ice would have gotten inside.
