I bought one of those tarp over metal pole garages. A big storm came and pulled it off the ground and dragged the feet from one side across the hood and trunk of my car. THat sucked.

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.
What if you live in the city, in a condo and have a common parking garage. Just because it is in a garage, does not mean it will stay clean, etc...

There are plenty of quite expensive places to live in the city that are the same price as a manor out in the country.

I don't think that would happen with this as the car sits inside of it. Worst case it might deflate on your car which would suck but it wouldn't blow away.

He was talking about putting the bubble inside a make-shift garage.

In the winter he put an electric radiator in the instant garage (outside the bubble) and in the summer he put a dehumidifier in there.

Eventually he broke down and bought an enclosed car trailer and used that for a garage.

He didn't live in an HOA community though.
