I got the Jetfighter ready for storage last night. OEM wheels, cheap tires, cleaned out the inside, bounce sheets in place. She'll be going away on Saturday or Sunday this weekend.

No, its a 3 plug adapter.

Its a little tight (9'6'' wide) but has a 15' ceiling height. I plan on installing a lift when I buy another car. Heated with carpeted floor is nice and it is inside a warehouse.

I have the Noah and love it. Fits 100% and works great indoors and outdoors.

Saturday is the day. I'm excited to get my black truck back from my parents but sad the red one has to go away.

10-24-2014, 07:00 PM

it was a beautiful and productive late fall day

pulled the Stang outta the mancave around 820am and ripped over to Trustyhands for some fresh Amsoil/filter and a good scan under the big shiny bitch

then ripped over to my Mom's place and pulled the Morgan out....put my Stang in her massive garage and headed back to the good Dr's place again for the same treatment on the little red roadster

headed back to Mom's with the Morgan...topped up the tank and added fuel stabilizer.....swapped back with the Stang and parked the Morgan on planks under the tires

headed back home in the Stang and topped the tank and added FS.....vacuumed out the mancave and parked it

battery yank, detail and cover for the Morgan happens tomorrow.....the Stang gets the treatment on Sunday

totally enjoyed the day.....great catching up with my buds....the rides are set....and I actually got to take both for a good ripp on the same day

pics are over-rated

Your garage is similar in size to mine. 20x23x9 but I bought insulation every couple of weeks last year until I had it all done. I picked up this heater for $80 and within 15 minutes it's comfortable. Hoping for a more permanent heater in the future but for now this works great!

Unrelated to the current convo, but related to the op...Here's my mustang in a bag.

Windows are about 25% down, trunk is open, vent on the back of the bag is open.

What does that do?
No dust? I would think. Much better than a car cover.

Wondering how it stays inflated?

stangabag lol very nice

Keeps out dust, mice, ebola, & some moisture. Stays inflated by 2 fans up front which are always running.

Just curious how this bag keeps out the dust and moisture? Seeing as the fans are pushing moist salty air that the Elantra is tracking in.

Intake fans have filters on them keeping out dust and debris. Im sure theres some moisture blowing around but less than if there were no bag at all and it was just parked on the concrete. Vent on the back of the bag is left open to prevent any condensation of differing air temperatures as the garage heats/cools.
