The Cood is a new way to protect your car from the elements. The Cood eliminates having to go outside in the morning after a storm and wipe off the accumulated snow. The Cood enables a quick and easy set up of a fully functioning tent that rests on top of your car. The Cood has a foldable spine that  easily attaches to the bumpers of your car as well as four straps that you pull down and attach to the wheel wells of the car. These straps hold the tent to the car and give the tent tension, ensuring that falling snow will slide off. The central spine along with the straps ensure that the Cood will stay on, even in storms with high winds. The Cood is also fully portable. The spine of the Cood is actually made of foldable tent poles, and when fully disassembled, the Cood fits in any standard trunk. The Cood is very quick to set up and take down, taking about a minute to set up, and 30 seconds to take down. This is much quicker than the several minutes it takes to clear snow off the entire car. The Cood is perfect for drivers in snowy areas who don’t have a garage at home or at work.
