Default Little Help On Car Jacket

I could used a little help, I'm losing my winter storage spot. I went on the internet yesterday looking for a "car jacket" that can be used for outside northern Indiana winter weather but I only found jackets for inside only. I have until the end of March before I have to move my vehicle. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Gary

Hope you find something.

Not as far north as you, but I hope to be daily driving mine by then. Is another pay as you go storage place an option for a month or so?

What exactly is a car jacket? If you are talking about a car cover for outside then I would recommend Wolfe, which is available from Eckerts or Corvette America. I used one of these on my Iroc Z28 a couple of winters ago.

This is not a car cover, You drive onto the jacket and then zip it up around the car. You do have to install a car cover on it before you do this.

I don't think I can beat the price of the storage that I' m using now. It's $25.00 a month heated garage. The only reason that I'm looking for a car jacket is that I'm getting lazy in my old age and I don't want to scrap the windows of ice & snow off of my work vehicle.

This is not a bubble. I had one of these bubbles but it was only for indoor use. You can purchased one for the outdoors but I would not want to try it in the weather we get in my area.

REMEMBER THE CORVETTE COMMANDMENTS:

And on the eighth day, GOD said: Thou shalt not drive your vettes in rain, ice, or snow. (Sounds like he also made the rules for our post office deliveries.)
