Has inflatable storage become a thing, or is my neighbour off their head? They have a lovely car, a convertible that's probably in the £50k+ price range. For the past month or so it's been encased in a large inflatable enclosure. It looks like a bouncy castle in their drive.

Not only does it look ridiculous but I can't imagine the point in owning something so expensive and turning it into Schroedinger's Car.

Is this a new thing?

Edit: it's one of these...

I guess it's a good idea if you want a car you want to protect but don't have a garage.

Go and throw something at it.

The only ones made an inflatable garage and tested it for durability How about trying with a knife?

I think they're excellent solutions to keeping dust and bird doodoo off your car, but obvs you'd have to be a bit special to use it for your daily. The better ones actually monitor the pressure in the container and inflate it automatically to maintain it, a million times better than traditional car covers imo.

It looks like it's going to sit inside that thing for the duration of the winter.

I decided to Google it as I didn't want to be taking pictures of their drive. I've added the picture to the OP - and wow, I can't believe how much they've paid for that.

Mental.

Cheaper than a garage or paying storage. I know lots of people who have them esp for classic cars which are parked up for winter. Even thought about buying one myself

Imagine someone nicking the car but re-inflating the tent, come spring they go to get the car out...

If you wanna be truly evil you make a few pin pricks in it so the compressor kicks in a bit more often, you'll cost them a quid or two a month extra on leccy and they'd never know.
