Oh! The 'lade rollin' on 22's belongs to my wife. Need I say more?

I get to play with my toys all that I want, but don't mess with her garage spot. And, honestly, with three small kids, that is fair.

And the 964 sits in the garage because it is my daily driver.

Seems like a great alternative, are there concerns with moisture being blown in or settling/trapped in the bubble?

That's pretty cool! The biggest problem I would have is that my insurance requires the car to be in a locked garage. When I built, the concession to a three car garage was a two car garage plus a parking pad along the side of the house. I was considering an additional car and might have to find another insurer so as to be able to use the capsule on that pad.

Thanks for posting that, PJ.

The first week I used it was a rainy week. When I opened the capsule the next day, the car and the capsule were dry. The way I look at it is that it is about the same temp/humidity as the garage. My garage sees a lot of opening/closing due to a busy family.

Sure. Just know that my source has a 16' unit that he claims is only available through him. The car capsule site lists an 18' unit as the smallest. The 16' is perfect for the 993. And my seller is cheaper too!

I'm contemplating getting one of these for indoor use.

What dimensions did you choose?
