Default Car Cover ??

Anyone know of a decent lightweight occasional use car cover?
Where to get one other than the local parts store and won't break my checkbook.
Thanks

Steve,

I wound up buying one at Ecklers, It cost me $100.00 but well worth it.

BTW, I was hoping to make a last minute appearance this weekend but I have to work Saturday. It doesn't look like Solvang is going to work for me either due to other personal commitments. Are you going to Plastic Fantastic this year?

I use a California Car Cover for my vette, love the quality, fit and durability but it was pricey. The one we picked up at the Pomona Fairplex for $40.00 has worked great for my 6 Series. I'm thinking of picking up another one next time I'm there. See ya Saturday!

Was the one you bought fitted for your car, or was it "off-the-rack-one-size-fits-all" ?

Off-the-rack, sized for my car (and others of similar dimensions). It does fit pretty well.
