Those "igloo/dome" carports

You know what I'm talking about...
It's a type of "garage/carport/car-enclosure." It basically an upside down "U" and it zips up in the front, allowing you to keep your car free of rain and snow. I can't for the life of me seem to find where these things are sold. Anyone know? I need it for about a year until my car finally gets a garage.

I've seen a decent amount of them being used, and they also seem to show little to no wear. We can have some pretty bad weather too.

I have one, to house my NOVA. You just have to make sure that you have the sucker anchored down. It blew over on me with the supplied ground anchors. I went to Home Depot and bought some 3' screw in anchors and 6 pieces of 4 ft rebar and drove it into the ground and cabled it to those. Have had 50+ mile per hour winds since and no problems. Here is where I got mine, built well and NO Shipping Costs at the moment. That is at least a $75-100 savings.

In the picture it looks light blue but it is actually silver.

My neighbor has one for his chevelle and loves it and he can pull the car out and use it for like barbeques and stuff. I keep trying to talk my dad into getting one so my rs can be garaged until we get the "dream garage built. He uses the excuse we have the elcamino and the other camaro to get garaged fist
