Is there a good car cover for outdoors?

Just wondering if all car covers suck outside or if any are better. Does Autozone, etc sell descent ones? Thanks.

if you want a really good one, I suggest california car cover.

I have had 3 of them, and have been really happy with all 3. They are not cheap however.

I suggest calling them and asking them what they recommend, given your geographical area, and intended use. % outdoors, etc.

I got thier top of the line one last fall and it was approx 300 bucks. Still worth it for my baby imho.

I don't have any personal experience with car covers, but I've heard alot of good things about Weather Shield car covers.

I had some cheap cover that I bought at Menards a few years back. It worked good, but now I rent a brand new garage for $50 a month.

$50 a month..Damn!!!!! Around here a one car garage goes for twice that. I like the Evolution 4 it's pricey, but worth it.

I was pleased. The guy who built it is really nice, and lives across the alley from my mom. It's a big 3 door garage, but he only need two of them, so he offered me the smaller stall. It's not close to my house by any means, but I can handle that, I've got 3 other cars. Plus it's brand new. My baby has a nice place to sleep now.

I have used California Car Covers for years, the fit like a glove and are great quality. Every month shake out the dust, you on one end friend on other end to shake cover out. Every 6 months take it to a laundry mat to wash it, dont try it at home the washer is too small.
