hey everyone, thanks for the kind comments about my car, I got real lucky a few years ago when I found her. the original paint looks AWESOME from about 5 feet still, get closer and she starts looks her age. when I got the car the paint looked horrible, like it was never polished, so I spent a few weeks polishing and buffing and she shines like she is brand new. The interior is original, the carpets have a few wear holes in the drivers floor, and the center tunnel carpet is faded a bit, other than that the interior is perfect. I love working on this car !!
I went with the car capsule for 3 reasons: mice, humidity and kids.
it will definitely keep the mice out as there is no way for them to get in, aside from chewing through the think plastic, but as someone said, there would be no reason for them to do that aside from leaving a bowl of peanuts on top of your car. and if they do get in, you will instantly know because your capsule will deflate, and you can take the proper actions quickly. it takes care of the humidity by ensuring the ambient temperature remains constant with the temperature of the car. In CT, during the summer months, when I wold head to the garage and open the door, the warm humid air would enter the garage and hit the car which was cold from the night time temperature drop, and condensation would be dripping from the car within minutes. the car capsule completely stopped that. finally my car is kept in my garage with my 2 daughters bikes, sleds, baseballs, bats and anything you can think of. with the car capsule my kids can run full speed into the side of the capsule and never hit the car, it is that strong !!! someone mentioned a car cover keeping the dust of the car, well, in my experience all my covers still allowed dust through the fibers, not a big deal, but the car capsule is much better at protecting your car, nothing is touching the car at all. and with a car cover you can't stare at the car for no other reason than to admire it (I find myself doing that much too often). with the car capsule you still get full view of the car !!
the cost was under $200 off eBay, took me a while to find one that cheap, but I setup an automatic search and within a month found one cheap enough to buy, brand new. they come in all sizes, I went for the 14 foot car capsule (smallest avail for cars), and it is still huge, wish they sold something smaller. I could fit motorcycle in there if I wanted to along with the Midget. (I just may do that over the winter).
power consumption on the car capsule is supposed to be very low, only $1.50 a month in electricity charges. so I am wondering if you could hook this up to a car battery and it would run for a few months, that may address the no electricity concern
finally, the ham biscuit comment, hysterical ! I've heard bubble boy comments, John Travolta comments, but never a ham biscuit !!
