I heard that car covers can actually be bad for a car. Something about trapping moisture in. Obviously, it's better to have it in a garage but anybody else hear this rumor?

Be sure to read the instructions that come with the cover. I believe the Camaro one states that you should not use a cover for three months on a new car so that the paint can breath and cure. I would also not recommend putting the cover on a wet/damp or dirty car.
