Love the ride! I've seen those "ziplock bags". I'm interested to hear your reactions to it.

Live in country and rodents can be an issue as well as dust. This insures to keep car free from damage. Easy set up and provides protection to body as well. Price is cheap insurance plan.

Since new. Had a C5 Z06 just like it but I foolishly sold it. It was low miles and flawless. Just got tired of seeing it sit in the machine shed. Dumb.

The display bags that are inflated with air blowing through look good, but - they cut down on condensation but still have most of the humidity as outside the bag. Best bet is a sealed bag in which you place appropriate amount of desiccant to absorb and bring down the humidity dramatically. Have used them for for many years for my two ‘65 Shelby GT350’s and ‘67 435 hp Vette roadster and ‘69 L89 Vette coupe - works perfectly. Need it as I live in the Northeast.

This is a very good point. A friend of mine had one of these bags in a storage place he rented. The place got a water leak and the fan sucked in the water. The car inside was covered in mold , and had to be re-built completely. Sealed bags with desciccant is the way to go.
