Outdoor Car Cover
Im about to leave for college and im not too happy about leaving my car unattended for long periods of time, so i figured a car cover would help. What do you guys recommend? I really like the looks of the GM one, but the pricetag is a little big- but i am fine with that as long as it is good quality. Anyone have any reviews on some good ones? Thanks guys!

Never owned/needed an outdoor one but have the GM indoor, great quality, fits like a glove but is pricey!

On the look out for the same thing...leaving car in my side yard in the south Florida sun for about 4 weeks. I checked out ebay and found one for $50. I'm not spending alot of money on one since this it will only get used once a year. Also, don't forget tire covers. Again, found some on ebay for $32 for a set of 4. I would love to get a factory cover as they are real nice but pricey for me right now. Good luck!

I have a Storm Weave from California Car Cover It works wayyyy better than the GM one . The GM one looks better and fits better,but it does not keep the car as dry .** I will sell my GM one CHEAP!!! if anyone is interested.**

One tip, You have to WASH your car before you put the cover on, or else you are scratching your paint with the dirt on the car. Also, if the inside of the cover gets dirty, you have to wash it too. The only time I ever recommend car covers is for your situation, clean car that will sit for at least 5 days without driving. If its any less, you are doing more harm than good with the cover.

I have the Noah series car cover from cover craft I believe. Awesome cover. Great fit but you get what you pay for, it was pretty pricey

Take a look at California Car Cover. I have an outdoor and an indoor from them and they are great.

I bought a couple of the cheap ones, and they never kept the car dry, pain in the ass to put on, and a windy day find it in the neighbors yard. Invested in a Covercraft, and it is fantastic. Easy to put on, and fits GREAT.
