Default Which car cover ?

I'm looking at getting a car cover to keep all the bugs, spiders and whatnot off
the car. My car for now either sits in the garage or under the carport. Since
I don't have to worry about sun, or rain, how do the lesser priced car covers compare ?

What have you guys bought ?


Thx.

Adam, I have a decent one you can have. It's got a few small holes (1/4") from a box cutter but it works. You got to drive the 100 miles to get it though.

That's good to hear. I was just about to buy one of those $140.00 covers for a vet that sits in the garage.
Thanks blue by you

I bought a really light weight cover that rolls up in a plastic cannister! It's great for keeping the dust off of a garaged Vette and the storage cannister makes for easy storage. I found it via a web search. I'm at work so I can't go out to the garage and get you the brand name. Sorry.

I had a canvas type cover that was made for C3's. It was awesome. Sold it with that car. Prior to that I had a nylon type cheapie. The damn thing would slide off when the cat decided to jump on the car. The canvas one fit nice and snug. Plus it loooked super cool. Got it with the car. Don't have any idea how much it cost. Now I use old blankets on my current C3. They suck.

I got a $30 one from Wal-mart. Put it on today. It fits good and should keep the dust and little fingerprints off just fine...I'm sure it's not as nice as an expensive one but mine just gets covered in the garage anyway...
