I'm looking at options for storing my Porsche over the winter. My garage is unheated, gets pretty dusty, and we occasionally get mice in there. I'm torn between getting a high-end custom fit California Car Cover or going the inflatable route with a CarCapsule. Has anyone used both? Which one is actually better for keeping rodents and moisture out?

Log InI've used standard fitted covers before. They are great for keeping dust off the paint, but if a mouse wants to get in, they will just chew right through the fabric to make a nest. Plus, if the garage temperature fluctuates and gets humid, a tight cover can sometimes hold condensation against the car.
Yeah, I learned the hard way with mice and a standard cover a few years back. Cost me a fortune in chewed wiring. The inflatable setups are much better for preventing pest damage.
If you want serious protection, the bubble is the way to go. The original CarCapsule is honestly worth every penny. Because it stays inflated and has constant air circulation, moisture doesn't have a chance to settle. Rodents also hate the thick PVC base and the continuous airflow. A fitted cover is fine for summer dust, but for winter storage, the capsule wins hands down.
