A: About one month
Q: Which model is
it?
A: It’s the ShowCase
Q: What vehicle
is in the capsule?
A: It’s a 1969 Dodge Charger with a
440 and automatic. I bought it from a guy in Canada who had restored it, and also
provided an album that documented the restoration. Before he had the car it had
been styled as a General Lee (Dukes of Hazard) type tribute. Only it was a bit
different; the previous owner was in the Canadian Air Force, and rather than a
Confederate flag on the roof, it had a Canadian Air Force flag. The guy I
bought it from removed the flag and added performance parts like a carburetor, a
lightweight driveshaft, 4 wheel disc brakes, and some other parts. Then he
bought a Dodge Hell Cat, and sold the Charger to me. I got a pretty good deal.
Q: How did you
hear about CarCapsule?
A: Before I bought the Charger I
started a thread on the DodgeCharger.com forum about a condensation issue I was
worried about; my garage floor sweats, and I was worried condensation would cause
rust issues on the underside of the Charger. On the thread I asked for advice on what I
could do to prevent the condensation from rusting the car, and someone suggested
the CarCapsule, saying it would seal the car away from the condensation. So, I
found the CarCapsule website and gave them a call. I spoke with Phil
(CarCapsule’s President) who sold me on the ShowCase.
Q: Where and how
do you use your CarCapsule?
A: I use it in my garage to store my
Charger.
Q: What do you
feel CarCapsule best protects against in your situation?
A: It protects not only against
condensation, but also from rodents. It keeps them away from chewing the wiring
and getting into the interior. It also keeps the car clean.
Q: Do you ever
take your ShowCase with, and use it while away from home?
A: No
Q: Have you used
your ShowCase for another use, besides storing/protecting your vehicle?
A: No
Q: Have you ever
had any problems with your ShowCase?
A: When I first inflated it the pump
wouldn’t shut off. I called CarCapsule and we tried to trouble shoot it over
the phone. They ended up replacing the pump, which they sent real quick. That
did the trick.
Q: Overall, how do you feel about
your ShowCase?
A: I’ve only had it for a month, but
so far I like it. I’m very happy. I take the car out every day, and the ShowCase
is easy to open and close. I like how easy it is to get the car in and out. It’s
less work than the CarCapsule would be.
