Outdoor CarCapsule owner Danny Bui tells us about his ownership experience.

Q: How long have has your CarCapsule been in service?
A: One year

Q: Which model is it?
A: It’s the 18’ Outdoor CarCapsule

Q: What vehicle is in the capsule?
A: I have a 1973 Porsche 911 RS clone. It’s green.

Q: How did you hear about CarCapsule?
A: I don’t remember exactly. It was either through Griot’s Garage or on a website.

Q: Where and how do you use your CarCapsule?
A: I use it for year-round outdoor car storage

Q: What was the main reason you purchased your CarCapsule?
A: I had been storing the Porsche in California, as I didn’t have a garage here in Washington DC, and I didn’t want to leave it outdoors unprotected. When I got the CarCapsule I was finally able to bring the Porsche to DC, as I had something to put it in. The CarCapsule has served well for outdoor storage.

Q: What do you feel CarCapsule best protects against in your situation?
A: Dust, pests, and dings. I like that the bubble protects the car from someone brushing up against it; they brush up against the bubble, rather than the car.

Q: Are there any particular situations in which the CarCapsule has been a great help?
A: We had a hail storm, and though the hail wasn’t really large, I was still glad the Porsche was protected in the CarCapsule.

Q: Do you ever take your Capsule with, and use it while away from home?
A: No. I just use it at home.

Q: Have you ever used your capsule for another use, besides storing and protecting your vehicle?
A: No, but I have thought it would be great to have a specially made ShowCase as a green house. I only need a green house in the winter, so a permanent one would take up space in my back yard and look ugly during the rest of the year.Can you make me one with clear PVC that is UV proof and can be left outdoors?

Q: Have you ever had any problems with your CarCapsule?
A: Not with the function. The only issue I had is I left my Outdoor CarCapsule inflated, and without a car in it. We had a really windy day and the capsule blew over my back wall and landed in an alley. I wasn’t home at the time. When I returned I found it in the alley and a car had run over it. It blew up and worked fine, though there was a tire mark on it. Rain eventually washed off the mark.

Q: Overall, how do you feel about your CarCapsule?
A: Very positive. It’s a great invention.
