Let's go with 74 cubic feet for the passengers and 8 cubic feet for cargo.

EDIT: Dang it Zeus, you just beat me to it! LOL.

Sweet, thank you!

So the reason I asked is because I was browsing the Griots catalog and came accross bags of dessicant to maintain low humidity inside the cabin during storage and when not in use and thought it was a good idea. But rather than paying Griots prices I did a search online and found this: http://www.drierite.com/catalog3/pag...?img_scale=200

It's nice looking, reusable, oversized for the application and priced right. It includes a humidity card so that you can monitor when it needs to be recharged. I will post back when I place the order and try it. Sure will help on those wet winter days when my wifes DD is making puddles in the garage or even during the humid summers.

Anyone already using something like this?

You've gone way beyond a hobby my friend. This has turned in to an obsession. Not that this is a bad thing, but man.

Remind me to not put a cigar in your car.

Relative humidity and condensing point are the critical factors. RH is very low in winter, especially when temps get down to the condensing temp. Dessicant may help for something but I'm not sure what. Condensing moisture inside the car risks corrosion, at the same time corrosion is very slow at low temps. Where to you see moisture build-up with the car in storage?

The GT is perfect but I want to keep it that way which was my initial reasoning for this. I realize summers probably aren't as important as the winters but since I would have the dessicant why not use it.

This region gets more rain than snow in the winter and temps hover just above freezing for the most part except in late January and Feb. On rainy days the humidity in the garage was high enough that the moisture would condense on the outside of the car. My thinking is that this same moisture can build up inside the car and do the same. The dessicant will wick the moisture away and I can recharge when the humidity starts climbing in the cabin. I don't open the doors much in the winter unless I'm working on the interior so it's only a small area that I would be keeping dry.

Part of this whole idea came from some light reading I did on long term storage of collectables. Seems humidity below 55% is a good think for furniture, paper etc and my thinking is that a great deal of the interior materials in a car are similar to furniture.


Sean,

It seems the more I do the more ideas I get. Oh and Cigars are more than welcome in the garage anytime but not in the car I have only smoked a cigar in my DD a couple of times, but I just don't enjoy them as much as sitting on the porch or staring at the shark in the garage.
