Mark...Car Jacket is a great product, I've been using one for over 10 years but not on a lift. Keeps car as nice as when you put it in! One thing you need to be aware of is that in the spring when you take the car out, when you first un zip the CJ you will smell gasoline and make sure you're not smoking or using an open flame. The gas smell comes from fuel evaporating out of the carb after you zip up the CJ and also fumes from wherever the gas tank vents going into the car jacket after it's zipped up. This is normal, after you zip up the fumes have nowhere else to go. Just let the garage air out for a while after you remove the car from the jacket in the spring before you try to start it and you'll be fine....it has never been a problem for me but I wanted you to be aware of what you will encounter in the spring.....great product, I wouldn't be without one!

Thanks Randy, I appreciate the tip. Meant to order the car bag today, but it’s been a tough one. Lost my 93 year old Mother this afternoon...

I've been wondering the same. It might take some work to get the car centered in the bag but I think it might work. I have a friend who bought a similar product from California Car Cover. Their "bag" is suppose to prevent rust due to a special fabric they use. I know that when he used it the first time it took several tries to get the car centered so he could zip it up easily. The second time, when he got that vehicle in the right position he made marks on the bottom part where the tires sat so he could position the car next time without a lot of trial and error.

Does anyone have experience with both the Car Bag/Jacket and the one from California Car Cover? I would like to know they compare.

Thanks Randy. We weren’t expecting it, so it was quite a shock. That said, she had 93 good years, so that is something to be thankful for.

Sorry for your loss. Lost mine in May, and it's devastating.
