I am in the process of packing my non-daily driver cars away for the winter. I am left with one car that does not have a place to hibernate- my 914. Unfortunately, I am out of garage space. I really do not want to pay someone to keep my car in storage.

My 914 is 100% rust free and I would like to keep it that way. Are there any cheap options for keeping a car outside while also protecting it from the elements. I would assume that a cover would do the trick. I have seen "car pockets" but all the ones that I have seen say for indoor only. Any ideas?

Ohio weather sucks. A little snow here and there, sometimes a lot. Lots of rain and sleet.

I have a somewhat tough situation because I had to pick which cars would be inside for the winter. I've got a few porsches. Although my 914 is my favorite, it is also the least valuable so its sleeping outside.

I am thinking about getting one of these things.

they say that it is for indoor only. I have read some posts where people said they used it outdoors and it worked fine. I think that I will put the car in the car pocket and then put an all-weather car cover over top of the car pocket. I suppose that the car pocket would protect it from the elements and the car cover would protect the car pocket from the elements.
