Try and put it in a garage or storage locker, covers will just beat up the finish on the car

If the car will be outside, don't use a cover. It will cause more harm than what you are trying to prevent.

CONGRATS on the ride, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wive's, husbands, girlfirends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.



oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

So you're saying that I'm better leaving it exposed to the elements? I wont have access to a garage to store it for this winter.

Car covers that are used to keep snow off a car are a bad idea.

Have you ever had a car cover frozen to your car? Like snow melted a little on the hood, and then the water soaked through the cover, and then froze overnight?

I have.

Late for work? Check.
Ruined the 200 dollar car cover? Check.

oh, PS:

Go Spitfires!

Oshawa...Windsor...this could rapidly turn into an OHL rivalry. I will admit I would side with the Generals if I had to choose.

I guess I should clarify for you. I'm storing her for the winter. I have another vehicle to drive. I don't have a garage or storage to put her in so she has to stay outside this winter. And maybe even next. I have no intention of ever letting her see salt or drive in snow. Therefore I would like a cover that will keep her protected while she sleeps. It won't come off until April or May.
