Default Which Car Cover?

OK, I know it has been beat to death. I've read several threads but just not sure which cover is best for my needs.

I'm looking for a PADDED cover (kiddos with bikes in the garage) that I will use 95% indoor but may use it every now and then outside. I'd like to spend less than $150.

Do you know of any supporting vendors who offer discounts?

The cover is for my 2004 Z06 Z16.

I got mine from Eckler's and it is the Noah cover made by WOLF automotive. They have different types of Noah cover, I believe mine is the " ALL SEASON" which can be used indoor and outdoor and it is about $90. I used mine 100% indoors, but have seen snow and rain a couple of times everytime I open my garage door and although it wasn't soak from the water, it also did not get inside. And it's breathable as well so there's no moisture build up. I love mine.

What about the padding? I want to make sure it is thick enough to protect from dings and such?

Well, it'll protect it from scratches as long as you don't hit it hard Mine get hit with the plastic garbage cans from time to time, but no scratches seen. As for dings, I don't think our cars get dings .Get into there website, I'm pretty sure they have pics and descrptions there.

Been to most of the sites, I was hoping someone could share "real-life" experience on the padded covers. The sites have almost to much info.

Thanks!
