I bought myself a portable car cover the other day as I don't have a garage to put my car in.Anyway it's one of those ones that looks kind of like a tent.You need to use tent pegs to secure it to the ground.Last night it got very windy,so I was outside at 1am taking off the detachable sides as it was moving around quite alot.I figured taking the sides of would make it more stable and enable it to withstand the wind.So at about 3am the wind settled down abit and I thought it would be ok so I went to bed.Well,I got up this morning and the darn thing was wrapped around my letter box lmao.Thank goodness it had as if it hadn't my portable garage could have ended up God knows where.It is now twisted and buckled and until I get a friend to look at it for me I don't know if it can be salvaged.That will teach me to make sure it is secured properly next time lol :P
