My little kids are getting dangerously close to scratching my 928. It's garage kept but that's also where my two sons play with their bikes, electric ride on toys, etc.I think I want to get one of those clear inflatable "car capsules" to protect my OB from bumps and scratches.

The "Car Capsule" is perfect, but it doesn't seem to be a good choice for a semi daily driver. The car capsule deflates when you open it. Doesn't anyone make one that has a frame inside to hold it up when you open it to drive the car?

It has to be see through because I must be able to see my 928 every day. That is a must. I couldn't bare to cover such beauty. But I need a solution to protect her too.

I would build a simple ramp out of irrigation PVC to hold it up/open when driving the car and out.

Show your children photos of your car in the garage, then....spank them. Repeat this process until they avoid not only your car, but your garage and possibly your driveway. If the wife thinks this is too harsh, spank her as well.

LOL.

The capsule works great keeping off dust, but not so great on bicycles. Kid proof is going to involve walls with 2x4's etc., or maybe one of those Plexiglas things I've seen in some parking garages.

I also have two kids, bikes, tricycles, ride on toys so I know exactly what you're going through. I've made it clear that there is absolutely no playing in the garage and all toys are to be taken out of the garage immediately if they want to use them. My son is finally old enough to realize that cars can be easily damaged and he is very careful around the Porsche. I also use a soft car cover for those times when they walk by and happen to rub up against it by accident.

I also considered a car capsule but it sounded like a huge hassle for regular use, winter storage is another story and I'm still considering it.

Why don't you buy some pavers and a Tuff shed. Have your kid play out there and have the garage to yourself? A mans gotta have someplace at home that he doesn't have to share with the wife & kids.

My wife never sets foot in my garage, without asking, and the kids were taught that it was always out of bounds. Even when they were teenagers they stayed out of the garage, and never went near my rollaway.

A man needs his space!!

Nice thread revival for your first post - almost exactly one year later!

Even if you can get your darling little tykes to the point where they are having weekly nightmares of accidentally touching the front license plate of the shark and it bites one of their limbs off, there will still be accidental damage at some point. It is inevitable around small kids. Once they get all excited and laughing, reason and fear depart...

If you have the space on your property get a shed. I finally put one up this spring and I feel so much better! The bikes and toys are all in the shed along with all the lawn/garden stuff and our snow blower. My sons ride on toy stays in the garage in front of my wifes car.

I would still suggest a car cover if the garage is connected to the house just to prevent light scratches.
