Took this shot of the sunrise Saturday morning. Turned out to be a fairly nice weekend. Yes, that is the Eldorado parked outdoors. My sheds are full right to the doors of other machinery and vehicles. I need to try setting up that tarp structure. Its ten by 20. Should hold the Eldorado.
Shot some video of the road test after installing new spark plugs and wires.

Eldorado test drive

Make a nice summer car. Probably a 10-15 mile per gallon car, but you likely wouldnt put many tanks of gas through it each year, but when your driving, you will be in fine style.

Is it a Shelter Logic building? What model?

I've had 2 styles here. The older style actually lasted the longest, but I had to keep snow load off. The newer style was more like a gable roof, so snow fell on its own. However, had a hail storm (fairly small hail) that went right through the tarp fabric. Within a couple months, the wind shredded the roof section.

I'll never waste another cent on that mess! Would be better to just cover a vehicle with a tarp and let it sit for the winter.

Another issue with the tarp buildings is, if there is not adequate ventilation, I had snow/ground moisture that would raise the inside humidity to near 100% on sunny days, then condense and freeze to the inside at night. Next day it would warm up and rain on everything inside. Was that constant cycle all winter long.

I don't even know the name of this tarp shed as it was donated to me all wrapped up in another tarp a few years ago. White metal pipes and some type of tarp material. I have not checked it out yet. Biggest concern I'd have is it might blow away in the wind. Humidity would be bad too but we don't normally have a big problem with that.
Bruce, I have not driven it enough to see how much fuel it burns but doubt it would be more than my 403 Olds powered pickup and that is not bad at all.

Yes, Shelter logic model 23529. Looks like a gable roof design according to the instructions.
