Inspired to start a concept thread, based on some other talk of a small-ish garage / shelter, lean to, etc, to put around front of car to keep it warm overnight or while it is parked.

Must be effective, portable, durable, affordable.

My inital thoughts: 1/2" extruded polystyrene (foundation insulation), cut in small, articulating sections, sandwiched between a waterproof outer fabric and a soft inner fabric. Heat shield where needed instead of soft inside.

So think like the old car bra, but all the way up to the windshield, and covering sides, and as much as bottom as practical.

Using 4 points of attacment: straps to the mirrors, or cowling edge of hood, and to the front tires.

So a sock / snuggie, but about 1" thick total, to keep heat in. Perhaps tarp material outside, flannel inside, mylar tarp as heat sheid.

Would have to be easy off and on for practical sake, otherwise, why bother?

In my mind I can think of ways of doing this fairly easily and unsophisticated.
