Leaving convertible outside for winter?
Well my mom is getting pissed that my car sits in the garage while her ugly van is outside and she has to scrap it every morning before work. She's making me take my car out of the garage and store it outside for the winter. I was wondering if anyone has ever stored a convertible outside for the winter? I've stored my regular ttop cars outside but never a vert. I don't have enough money for one of those fancy car covers and I don't want to buy a cheapo one b/c i'm afraid that moisture will get through and stay there causing mold to form on the top. Anyone have any suggestions or does anyone know if its ok to just leave the car outside expossed to the winter elements?
thanks,
Mark

I wish but I can't i'm away at school so I won't be here to do it. Last year she let my car sit in the garage but this year she's pissed. She isn't happy that her 21 year old college son needs 2 cars (1 for the winter) and has to keep his nice one in the garage

Just tell her that you are starting a list so in the future when you are driving her @ss to the nursing home and she is crying out "Why are you doing this to me??" You can pull it out to remind yourself. Believe you me, she will start bitching ALOT less about small things like this. It works. Parents think that thier kids don't have any ammo to counterstrike. This one is a nuclear bomb.

Ha ha ha.....well I convinced the rents to let me get a car cover so hopefully i won't be paying for all of it. I just started a new thread about what cover to get i'm debating between the noah and superweave from california car covers.
