Is the Car in the Bubble?
26th May 2015
We recently spoke with CarCapsule owner Brian Ellison about storing his vehicle in a CarCapsule. Here is what he had to say.
Q: How long has your CarCapsule been in service?
A: Three years
Q: Which model is it?
A: The Indoor CarCapsule
Q: What vehicle is in the capsule?
A: A 1995 Porsche 911
Q: How did you hear about CarCapsule?
A: I was searching on the internet for car storage options and I came across CarCapsule. Then I searched on some automotive forums and saw there were good things being said about it.
Q: Where and how do you use your CarCapsule?
A: I use it in my garage to store my car during the winter
Q: What was the main reason you purchased your CarCapsule?
A: I wanted to protect it from rust and mice. My car is not used during the winter and is parked in the garage. However, my wife’s car is used in the winter, and is parked next to the Porsche. I have found that the salty snow that melts off the underside of her car forms puddles of salt water that could rust my car. This happened to a Mercedes I used to own - it would rust just sitting there. So the CarCapsule keeps the Porsche sealed away from that. Also, we live on a wooded lot in the suburbs, and there are a lot of mice. The CarCapsule keeps mice away from my car. I’m very concerned about that; my brother had a Corvette and mice ate everything - to the point where it wouldn’t run.
Q: What do you feel CarCapsule best protects against in your situation?
A: Rust and mice
Q: Do you ever take your Capsule with, and use it while away from home?
A: No, I just use it in the garage. When it is not in use I store it in a big Tupperware type container.
Q: Have you ever used your capsule for another use, besides storing/protecting your vehicle?
A: No, I only use it to store the Porsche.
Q: Have you ever had any problems with your CarCapsule?
A: No, no problems.
Q: Overall, how do you feel about your CarCapsule?
A: I really like it. It does exactly what I want it to do. I have no problems – it works every time perfectly. I tell everyone in my Porsche club how great the CarCapsule is. They rib me about it, and ask “Is the car in the bubble?” My daughter asks “Is the car in the snow globe?”
