A housing has a first end and a second end. The first end is rotatably coupled to a first lateral wall of the trough and the second end is rotatably coupled to a second lateral wall of the trough. The housing has a peripheral wall extending between the first and second ends. A plurality of spike shaped protrusions is attached to and extends away from the peripheral wall. The protrusions are comprised of a resiliently flexible material that is incapable of puncturing a vehicle tire. The protrusions are positionable in a deployed position extending upwardly from a plane of the upper surface or in a stored position positioned within the trough.
