Here in cold and wet Oregon, I found a layer of mold over the engine when I popped the hood once. I had mold in the carpet and seat fabric. It took a long time to remove. This was in a garage even! a lousy garage but that moisture in the air did nasty work.

I run a dehumidifier in mine just for that...  helps keep it off the walls too

Oh, the wife has 2 from Amazon she hasn't even opened yet. I guess they now have a purpose! Thank you for the tip!

I keep seeing hot rods around town even yesterday. It was sunny and fairly dry 32 degrees. I did go for a motorcycle ride but worry about taking Max out. Mainly worry about hidden icy spots.
