Outdoor CarCapsule Protection Allows John Phelps to Get the Porsche He Always Wanted!
28th Oct 2015
We recently spent time with Outdoor CarCapsule owner, John Phelps, discussing his experience with the CarCapsule.
Q: How long have has your CarCapsule been in service?
A: About 5 Months
Q: Which model is it?
A: The Outdoor CarCapsule
Q: What vehicle is in the capsule?
A: A 2004 Porsche Boxster S. It’s the “50 Years of the 550 Special Addition”.
Q: How did you hear about CarCapsule?
A: I saw an ad in a magazine
Q: Where and how do you use your CarCapsule?
A: I have it in my driveway and store my Porsche in it year-round
Q: What was the main reason you purchased your CarCapsule?
A: So I could get my Porsche. I never bought a really nice car because I didn’t have a good place to keep it. I don’t have a garage. I had Miatas that I kept outside with car covers, however, falling branches and other falling objects can cause dents and dings. Car covers just don’t provide the best protection. Because the Outdoor CarCapsule exists it gave me the green light to get the Porsche. I’d have to build a garage to get the protection the CarCapsule provides. CarCapsule makes it doable.
Q: What do you feel CarCapsule best protects against in your situation (Dirt, Dust, Dings, Pests, Weather?)
A: Everything! For me it’s mainly rain, and falling branches when it’s windy. I live in Louisiana and there is a lot of mold and mildew because of the humidity. The CarCapsule keeps the car dry and the air being circulated keeps mold from growing. I used to find mold growing on the leather seats in the cars that I stored outside under car covers. This doesn’t happen with the CarCapsule.
Q: Are there any particular situations in which the CarCapsule has been a great help?
A: Hurricane Patricia just passed through and we got 13” of rain yesterday. The
(Outdoor) CarCapsule protected it perfectly. I could just sit inside with a cup
of coffee and look out the window at the CarCapsule and relax knowing the Porsche
was fine. During the tropical downpour branches fell on the CarCapsule and it
provided a big cushion - so the branches never touched the car.
Q: Do you ever take your Capsule with, and use it while away from home?
A: No
Q: Have you ever used your capsule for another use, besides storing/protecting your vehicle?
A: No
Q: Have you ever had any problems with your CarCapsule?
A: No problems. It’s been perfect.
Q: Overall, how do you feel about your CarCapsule?
A: Some say the CarCapsule costs a lot more than a car cover. I think the CarCapsule is a great value! I figure a good custom fit car cover costs about $350. The CarCapule was only twice that cost, and it protects the car way better! CarCapsule is a great product. I want to to shout it from the mountaintops so everyone will know!
