Tom, I look forward to meeting you.

Anyway, car started right up, no drama!

The only touchy part is riding about 1/10 a mile on a gravel road to get to the barn. In first gear with foot off the accelerator, minimal dust. My pole barn is on the left:

My buddies and I have three bays like this:

Some have asked about the bubble. This is a closeup of the fan that's in the front of the bubble. It has a foam filter and the fan runs continuously to keep the bubble inflated.

Not only was the car free of any dust (bubble obviously off in this picture)

But, the rotors were free of rust:

And hardly any oil on the cardboard under the engine all winter

Aren't you glad you asked! Driving it today put an indelible smile on my face. I was 19 all over again!

Nice!

Though I wasn't "bubbleized" (& that may change next fall), my requisite piece of cardboard looked pretty much like yours, though my one "stain" may have been leftover from the fall.

I really love a leakless 914! So does the old lady!!!!!!!!
