interim garage floor?

I'm movinh into a new house and the garage has an old dirty concrete floor. Is there value in buying some kind of rubberized floor material to sit the Porsche on for the remainder of the winter until I demolish the garage and pour a new floor?

Isn't there something bad about storing a care on bare concrete? P.S. I bet this concrete is over 70 years old.

Go to Walmart. For just over $10 you can buy grey square foam pads which are 2' x 2'. They're in the automotive section. They come in large and small sizes.

Get the large, a pack of four. Place one under each wheel.

Concrete does leech moisture from rubber and cause unsightly sidewall cracks.

Ask me how I know.

Take a look at the none-automotive magazine Fine Woodworking's Annual Tool Edition, it's on the newstands right now. I may be a little off on that special edition title. They have a full article on shop flooring and almost all of it is applicable to car guy shops. They discuss several types of tiles and some sheet vinyl products, all made for shop purposes. They give company names, prices and websites. Hope this helps.
