Car Capsule?
Anyone use one for their ZL1 or otherwise?
Seems like pulling the plastic over the car and then inflating could scratch the car. I saw one last year that was a drive in model - called the "Showcase" but according to their Facebook page they will not be available till the end of this year. Anyone use anything else? |

Are you talking about one of these things?
 Why would you EVER put it in one of those things? A ZL1 is a fun car. Not fun to look at, or to pay for, or to sniff. It's a fun car to drive. Those bubble things prevent driving. You want to put a car in one of those bubbles, put something absolutely horrible to drive in there, like a Crown Vic or a Camry. |

Odd and frankly not helpful posts kids.
Putting the car in the bubble, if it is a drive in one, doesn't stop it from being fun or me using it. Thinking is: - can't use ZL1 in cold winter and don't want mice in it - I have five kids, lot of traffic thru garage, want to avoid silly scratches and things accidentally falling onto car. I don't want to use a conventional car cover as it seems the car would need to be perfectly clean to avoid scratching AND it doesn't stop topogigo. Ditto for the paint films. So I wanted to get the showcase version of the car capsule (drive in - see link) - But again, not available till year end. Other alternative is this one: http://www.airchamber-carcapsule.com/ but looks like not as nice and web site is a little 1999. I'd like to hear from someone using some style of car capsule for thoughts as to whether it makes sense to wait. |

For what it's worth, I think it looks awesome.
But I don't have one. I just have a car cover from California Car Covers. I do like my cover though . . . |

Only thing that I wondered about was the cost on running that fan all the time. Maybe it's not that much.

Throw in some packing peanuts and it would look like a snowglobe. Too late for this year, but I may look into one for next year.
