Stupid Condensation My car is in storage, b/c of the winter's here in chi-town... Anyways i was going to see my trans am today i was pulling my headrests covers off to get them embroirded. When i went to go and lift up my car cover, the cover was SOAKED and thus my car all the way up to my door handle. I was like WTF 
all 4 of my rims were dripping wet, as if someone took a hose and jsut soaked my rims.
But yeah that was jsut a little rant...

Yes i forgot to mention that it is in a garage.. Not climate controlled though
It has to be the weather doing this. Last week it was like 3* - 18*, then this week it is been 58* - 68*....

Yeah its definitly the drastic temp changes. I know they make humidifiers, but not sure if there are dehumidifiers for rooms. You could get something like that, it would help. The heater trick works for me, but then again it only got into the 20s down here.

Bingo, theres another idea. I have some kind of moisture absorber called Damp-Rid that I put in the interior, smells good too. You can get it at any Target or Wal-Mart.

Would a heater actually be able to heat a 1 car garage...
Yea, I had the same problem yesterday when I was working on the car. Looked like someone sprayed the entire car. Some of my other items were extremely damp also, like my audio setup and my subs which were outside of the car.
Its def b/c of the temp change. The garage floor or anything for that matter that would'of been cold with the below freezing temps would stay cold but as soon as the air warms up around it, all those cold things including your floor begin to "sweat" so to speak with condensation...Its the same thing as taking an ice cold beer out in the middle of summer. Ever look at the can in a min or two and see the condensation dripping off? Same principle here, only it sucks b/c its all over our pretty cars!!
