Do you park your vette on the cement floor in the garage or is there something under your car? (Carpet, cardboard, Etc)

It has a small drip at the rear end drain plug so on the lift or on the floor it has a pan or cardboard under it. I'm too messy for carpet although I have done that before.

I installed some garage carpet tiles a year and a half ago

right on the floor. Mine still has some leaks, so I'd never park it on carpet or tiles. I would like to one day epoxy the floor though.

Park on the floor.. I do have painted floors... and I have carpet pads, not sure they do anything but they look cool ....

Always on the ramps now. Don't have to worry about the kids knocking into it with scooters and bikes. Easier to vacuum and clean the tires too! LOL.

daanbc, what do you make those lift boxes out of? is there a 2x4 frame with plywood onthe outside?

daanbc

All 2x12. Outside is just plywood to cover and help brace. I have a thread somwhere with all the pic's of it in progress. The 2x12's cut on the inside are spaced every 12 on center instead of 18". You could drive a dump truck on these!

I have cardboard under mine until I get the major leaks repaired. Since I bought it I've replaced the valve cover gaskets and the front main seal. Next up is the transmission pan gasket, then see what else is bleeding on the floor.

I like your setup daanbc but I have Essential Hand Tremors the more I try to keep my hands from shaking the worse they get. If I had to drive up those ramps it wouldn’t be pretty.

I park on my Kwik Lift.

I have epoxy on the garage floor and I place a drip pan under the trans as it leaks

I have 6 corvettes in my garages and have carpet in one, linoleum wall to wall in the other.

BUT both will be returned to plain old fashioned concrete ASAP ...!!!! Both are a royal pain in the rear ...Carpet gets dirty over time and the linoleum melts from the "hot" tires..

Years ago we checked with a carpet store that was throwing out their carpet samples... We got 'em,put them under our plane's tires... Then recently a "Big Box Orange trimmed" store was doing the same... I grabbed a truckload from them ....Like I said above it looks cool and might keep you from pulling up your floor coverings...

Cement normally, it's on 2x12s when stored for the winter.

~Stingray

Cement with carpet strips.

What advantages would an epoxy floor give? And how would you put that on evenly?

Jedi926

No garage currently, so mine goes right on the ground.

Stroh

Right on the cement for now. Like most I'd like to paint the garage floor, finish out the mancave in style, but that's for another day.

In the winter I had it on carpet scraps over OSB squares to "keep the tires from flattening while sitting from the cold and moisture coming up through the crete" as my father put it. That may be old school though, as I'm not sure new tires are affected much by that. But what do I lose by overdoing it? 2-3 minutes placing the pads behind the tires then back the car up on it? Nothing hurt. I wonder, thoug, about how true that is.
