Default Car Capsule




Car Capsule


Lay it out, drive your car on the base, zip it up, turn on the fan and instant car in a bubble. There are two models, one for indoor use and one for outdoor use. Pic is of the outdoor model. Only draw back I can see is it must be plugged in for the fan to work. I have a Mustang which I keep outside and was considering one of these for it.

Get ready for some visits from the police asking why you have your spaceship parked on the front lawn.

My friend keeps his Ferrari 360 Modena in one of those. He likes it, but he only drives the car occasionally. It would be a hassle doing that every day.

Not to judge anyone, but...the day I'm wealthy enough to afford a Ferrari 360 Modena will be a few years after the day I'm wealthy enough to afford a house with a seventeen car garage.

I think it's kinda cool. Seems pretty impractical though, needing a fan and all.

You could probably have it double as a moon walk for a kid's birthday party or something.

I agree, but he may have the indoor one.

He lives in an expensive, but old, suburb of Dublin. None of the houses had a garage because they were all built before the age of the automobile, and I guess they kept the horses somewhere else.

Dublin's expensive these days. His house would cost you $2,000,000 now, and it needs a lot of work.

Lot's of historic homes in the US don't have car-sized garages either. You probably could get a car inside our carriage house, but you wouldn't be able to open the doors.

The Car Capsule looks like an ass-pain, especially if it must be plugged in constantly. I don't see the advantage of one over a simple car cover.
