Car Capsule

Has anyone heard or used one of these things? Found it on Ebay, didn't buy it, just checking it out.

If you are talking about the inflatable 'garage' that goes around the whole car, I had one for my MGTD and although it worked ok, it was generally a pain in the aft to use, you have to be very careful around it, it punctures pretty easily (mine came with a repair kit though).
Keep the dirty side down!

Jen,
I have used a Harley capsule for my bike for years. Best investment that I ever made. Keeps bike clean,dust free,and filters the air that circulates thru the Bubble!. Also has a desicant to keep humidity and rust away.IMHO, well worth the money,plus you get to admire your ride even when you are unable to drive it. Kind of like a Speedster Shrine!! I know many Street Rod guys that use them.

Thanks Allan, I thought it sounded like a great idea. We park the Tub in the garage and one other car, but we put the 3rd car in a cart port thing, I was thinking of putting the porsche in the car port with the car capsule for winter/Rainy season and putting the other car in the garage. Sounds fairly easy to put up and down, its a great idea. I was going to get the one meant for outdoors.

Thanks again for your reply.

Jennifer, I purchased a "car Pocket" that is not inflatable but serves the same purpose to cover the car. It is for outdoors, has a floor and zippers the car inside so it is protected from all angles.
I bought it for my Ghia because I thought I would need to store it outdoors, it is currently in my mothers garage...go to www.budgecovers.com I still have it in the box so I havn't used it yet.....

Vince, www.budgecovers.com doesn't work. Is there another address?

sorry, try www.budgecarcovers.com

ok, thanks for the tip Vince, I will check it out.

I used a car-capsule for my black IM for a couple of years. A couple of things I learned: use a light car cover before rolling the plastic of the capsule over the car (prevents light scratching they tell you won't happen); putting 1/4" masonite as flooring keeps the capsule floor in place when the car is being used and makes it easy to roll a jack under the car without possible damage to the capsule floor.

Another thing, the one I had used an adhesive to bond the zipper to the floor. After about 3 years of Sacramento heat, the glue softened up and the zipper started to pull loose.

hey vince, thought you sleep in a car capsule in the garage?

Jennifer, I can imagine that the bubble in the carport would be an invitation to neighborhood cats and other critters to climb/claw their way onto (or into) it. I'd think you'd be better off using one in a garage.
I'd hate to see you spend all that money and have some stray or opportunistic bird screw it up for you.
