i didn't have a issue with leaving the 55 outside, but i did want to cover the box because the floor is wood and doesn't like to have snow on it for a season.
I was going to ask about Bounce dryer sheets.. I talked to a friend who has a storage area, and he said some guys were using "Bounce" and "Irish spring soap".. Smells good to me. I am just "uptown, putting a car, inside for storage.. I have a 300.00 custom fit car cover with 12 holes in it the size of a fist... Was not on my car, but was "given to me" by another guy..
One thing also, as you may have already seen, either remove the car when it's close to melting, or be prepared to leave the cover on until a nice warm day. I tore one of my desperately trying to remove it when it was frozen onto the car. That will happen the first time it melts after the snow falls on it.

The trick to keep mice away I learned from my Great Aunt Mildred who had a big old farm house near Beachberg ON. She would get fresh cloves and take a handful and wrap them in cheesecloth and tie it off with ribbon to form a little bag and toss them in the corners of the kitchen. Apparently mice don't like cloves.

What I did was use a outside car cover. The softer the better. Then I bought a tarp to cover the car cover.I used motorcycle tie downs thru the tarp holes to keep it nice and tight.
