Default Car cover suggestions?

This being the first winter with my Z, the time is near to store it away for the season (Do NOT relocate to Pennsylvania!). I can no longer procrastinate on the purchase of a car cover. I've seen many different types. My garage is unheated and has some dust (not unlike most garages), but it is dry.

What covers are recommended from my fellow forum members?

Thanks in advance!

Personally, I hate car covers.

But you might get a better response if you try posting in the Car Care Discussion forum.

I bought a car cover several years ago from Corvette Garage - it does a very good job keeping the dust off the car when in storage. Contact Nate and see what kind of deal he can offer.

I like my dustop cover. It gives it a layer of protection from anyone/anything bumping up against it, as well as keeping it clean. It only goes on a clean car.
