Default Cover question

Ive decided to get a cover for my vette since there is a ridiculous amount of partying at my apt complex this yr. Ive looked around a lot, but havent found much information on the best outdoor cover. My roomate has a wolf cover on his, what do you all recommend? Id like one with decent padding, but bulk is also a factor. Im , thanks guys.

Read the information on each cover carefully. Some protect better against dust while other do a better job with rain or sun. I used one for ten years in a dry climate and it was a major mess if it got rained on. If that is possible you may want one that sheds water.
If you are talking about a Z then unless you have the telescoping electrical antenna you face that situation as well. I don't listen to my radio so I removed my antenna and replaced it with an acorn nut I purchased at Home Depot.

Definately the toss ups. As far as the antenna, I got one of those shorty antennas off the forum and love it.
