Thats a thought, this enclosure will eventually serve my dad as well when he decides to get off the couch and start working on his car... someday

Alright, I went to pep boys and got the 10 x 20 tent. I built it last night, so far so good, the cats are still trying to penetrate it! I had to change the layout a bit so it would fit into one garage spot. Also, i lined the bottom with pipes to keep the cats from crawling under it! Let me know what you think

A bit off topic, but how much did the paintjob cost you in total?

A lot of respect to you for going this far instead of harming the cats and such, but I can see the humor from it too....

I'm pulling the BS card. All this talk of tents and insane cats and not one picture of this beautiful, innocent car. Do you even own an Evo, sir?

Haha, just kidding with you man. I know how you feel, though. I have to park outside for about three more months and one night I walked out to get in my car and there was a cat laying on the hood gnawing on the rubber at the base of the stock antenna. I kid you not! I just about skint the thing, lol. Instead, I bought a Perrin shorty and called it even.

Good luck with your efforts and put up some pics of the paint job!!

you guys are thinking way to much into it. it is simple, a bowl of cat food mixed with some antifreeze sat out in the morning. the evo can go into the garage by mid afternoon.

I agree with something extremely durable. If the material can be cut - the cats will make quick work of it. If something looks off-hand to a cat, they will be sure to destory it. That's just the way it works lol
