My neighbor saw my drip pan under the Chevelle and asked if I was too cheap for a real cover
He said his dad always kept his Bel Air in a $2,000 CarCapsule bubble, and for a second I felt like a slob with my $30 tarp and cardboard. Then I remembered his bubble sits in a garage while mine sits under a carport in Tulsa where we get hail 3 times a spring. Anyone else skip the fancy stuff and just deal with moisture the cheap way?

Hail in Tulsa is the real killer here. A CarCapsule bubble is just a big plastic balloon and one decent 2 inch hailstone rips right through it, then you're out two grand plus a shredded cover. My uncle ran a body shop in Broken Arrow for 20 years and he saw more dent claims from bubble cars than tarp cars, because people trusted the bubble and stopped parking under anything solid. A $30 tarp plus a sheet of cheap plywood on top beats fancy air bags every time when the sky starts throwing ice. The neighbor's dad had a garage doing the real work, not the bubble.
