I would buy the thickest tarp you can find to lay under the car.
One of the benefits of the Carcoon system - it has a very thick moisture proof base mat

I can totally imagine how this would look in the dark with some proper LED lights inside, changing colour all the time!

Well, if you're going to do that, take a bunch of shredded toilet paper and an upward blowing fan.

It would look like the world's biggest snowglobe.

I would recommend placing wood squares or a carpet under each tire, something that keeps the tires off concrete or asphalt.

As for critters and stored Porsches… The printing on the wiring harnesses is sometimes performed with soy based ink and the mice love it. I use a dusting of cayenne pepper under all of my stored cars (unless in a bubble) and have never had an issue since doing it.

This is also great for application to the perimeter of any garage or storage space that mice could get into and damage stored goodies
