Default Car Cover Opinions Needed for Winter Garage Storage

Hello All,

I store my vette inside an unheated garage during the winter months here in Michigan. What type of car cover should I purchase? I went to MidAmerica (http://www.madvet.com/shop?frame=1.6.5937) to see what they had but I also wanted to get opinions from this forum.

Thanks

I use a Noah outside for my Infiniti Sports Coupe. The fit is very good. Cannot see how it would not meet your needs inside if not even on the overkill side. For the Vette, I am bumping up to Weathershield, thoughts of a garage or Carport are becoming too damn prominent.

I use a custom fit Dustop for indoor storage.

Default Best winter storage cover...

You want the best winter storage recommendation?

It's called Miami, Florida.

Despite what you've heard - it is really is a safe place to live - please come back we weren't shooting at you....

I have the plushweave from Cal Car Cover. It is great, fits like a champ! Flannel lined softness. Check out this thread for more info and other options for what you might like.

I have the "Dust-Top" for my garaged C6. Very soft and fits great.

I'm in NY. I have a Noah cover and I keep it on in an unheated garage.Works great. Its light,folds relatively small and keeps the dust off.

How about a couple of king size bed sheets? It keeps the dust off and it is a lot cheaper than any cover.
