RE: [DML] Re: Car Cover question??? Is Carcoon my best choice?

[<krasniy@xxxx>]

Yes...it is hurricaine season... And we have had flooding in my pasture
land...but this spot is safe (and if it isnt safe at any point I will
move the car nearer to my house which is a hundreed or so feet away but
a lot higher.) so flooding is not an issue. Hurricaine is another
story....there has not been a direct hit to my section of SW Florida for
50+ years....they say it has to do with our geographic location on this
section of the west coast.
Anyways I have opted for the Carcoon which DMC-Houston offers.... Will
keep all the critters and everything out of the vehicle. Also our
carport will have side walls... Just no end walls (although in time that
will change...) Since the Carcoon circulates air with its motor and also
keeps the Delorean's battery optimized this appears to be a great
solution to my problem. 
I will update everyone over time to how successful this route is/was.

In Florida you have to put up with some of the most humid conditions in
the US. Not only that but the possability of severe hurricanes and
flooding. I would get in touch with local car clubs and see what actions
the members take to deal with these conditions. BTW an ordinary car
cover is very little protection. Moisture comes up from the ground
(unless the car is on concrete) and can rust the frame. Small animals
can also find their way inside the car. An open carport offers little
protection from a hurricane and could probably get blown away if the
storm is bad enough, especially when you put sides on it. Isn't it
hurricane season right now? David Teitelbaum vin 10757
