Q: How long have has your CarCapsule been in service?
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.
