Default F you hot sun!

Walmart has these on sale for $50, CT selles them for over a $100. Comes in red or blue, works like a charm. This is the only way I can work on the car and watch my kids at the same time.

When all packet up, it's only as big as two camping chairs. Folds up like an acordian.

It's a littlel hard to see in the pic but the "tent" is 9'x9', more than enough to cover the hood and a good chunk infront of it. The rear legs were at the side mirrors. Had to slowoly move it as the sun was setting but other than that, I should have tought of this years ago.

I have one also, and use it for weekend car shows/racing events. Can make a hot sunny weekend even more enjoyable when you have some shade to retreat to. I can even leave the top down on the car and park under it!

Cheers!

i bought one of those pop-up canopies 5yrs ago for motorcycle trackdays.... probably was close to $200......

A bit bigger than 2 folding chairs folded up.... came with a bag on wheels....

IIRC, it folded up to about 12"x12"x 48" tall......

I have 2 of these from when I did track days with the bike. Exact same model as the one Imre has. They are great and fairly durable.

Will be good for light rain I imagine...

That would work well here to keep the everlasting all summer long rain off you! No need to worry here about sun on the east coast!
