Default Storing car outside in a "capsule"

Hi,

I'm considering buying a 944, but do not have a garage. Have any of you used an outdoor car storage "capsule" or bubble? If yes, can you please relay your experiences and the particular model you used?

I plan to store the car outside during the winter, which will see freezing temperatures, ice, snow, rain, etc. I live in MA now.

Thanks

I think those are still intended to be used indoors.

I would find another place to live first.

The outdoor "portable sheds" are very popular in Quebec Canada, they are used by almost every household and provide the wind and precipitation shelter that many people need to store their summer cars during the winter. As long as the car is sheltered from the elements, I don't think it will be any different than putting the car in an unheated garage (like mine) for the winter. I would just check it every so often to ensure that no rodents are gaining access through holes or the doorway. Googled "portable garages"... there's lots of them out there to choose from.
