You're gonna pay a few bucks though for a good one.

You want a TIGHT custom-fit cover that is rated for outdoor use, because a universal that fits loose will blow around in the breeze, shift under snow and freeze to the paint.

I have stored cars outdoors in the winter for a while. I used to cover them but found it was less damaging under snow/ice to leave the car uncovered.

My wife and I have been using these California car covers made with Naoh fabric for years. If you get a rip or tear with 3 years they'll replace if free, that's difficult to beat!

Thanks for the replies. It might be easier to get one of those tents.

What's difficult about going on line and entering www.calcarcover.com? You get a quality car cover that's guaranteed to last for years rather than buying cheap Chinese trash sold by Wallyworld!

If you're interested, I have a weather shield HP (which is the next level up from the Noah) for sale. This is one of Covercraft's premium covers. I only used it two or three times and then was able to get a garage and never used it again. It's for the coupe and is gray colored. I even had the interior seams lined with felt so it wouldn't scratch the paint. Also what makes it nice is that you can wash it in your home washing machine. The others likely require you to use a commercial machine. This cover runs about $325. I'll let it go for $225 shipped.

Here is the chart comparing covercraft fabrics:

YOU'RE the guy I was talking to. Fml I deleted my ims back in the day and couldn't for the life of me remember who I was talking to. Unless I'm going crazy- didn't you have this for sale this time last year?
