Exclamation Outdoors Vehicle Care

I'm currently looking into purchasing some kind of outdoors car cover. My F82 will be sleeping outside while the garage and house is re-designed. It will be a period of 3-5 months.

Does anyone know a US distributor for foldable car covers? I love the design; however, I haven't been able to find any distributors.

This might be more than what you asked for but it's pretty cool.

Thats a great start!

My only problem is that it must be easy to move and not fly away. Our home has a 8 car driveway; however, its more like a drag strip Only one car at a time.

I'm sorry, maybe I don't understand the point here... Is your car really that much of a spectacle that sitting outside for a few weeks is an issue? Do you not park your car outside when you go to say, the mall, grocery store, etc?

Sounds like if there is any concern at all, a very good detail would probably be more cost-effective, less headache, and then you don't have some sort of product that you have to store or re-sell when your garage is back up and running.


And are you considering the nuisance of putting on and taking off the cover every time you use the car? I'm sure the BMW car cover would more than adequately suit your needs.


They do sell covered aluminum structures for the same price as the aforementioned "bubbles" above

Having a foldable structure such as the one pictured would solve many of my problems. For now a cover is the only solution until I find a more suitable alternative.

Overkill. But I have seen car covers or canopy?s at harbor freight. Around $100.
