As far as I'm concerned your Boxster should be by itself in a garage or barn "like I did" with mine and forgotten for the winter. All these cars you bring in are the culprit, the engines are hot the garage is cold and this forms humidity. the best is like 10/10ths said buy a roll of Tyvek and lay it on the floor. If I were you I would also insulate that garage.

Thanks all for the advise. Has anybody ever use a car capsule or bubble some call it? I'm just curious if that's a waste of money.

You'd be better off using the money to buy a heater for the garage. My gas heater in my 3 car garage is about $20/month to run and keep the garage at 60 all winter. Yes, the initial cost was about $2,500.
