Default Indoor Car Cover

Hi all!

I just got my C5 a month or so ago. When I sold my C4, I sent the car cover with it. So, I need a car cover for the C5, but determining which one is tougher than I would have thought.

I know there are some group purchases, and they have looked good. But, which one should I choose?

My car is kept in the garage, and will not sit outside in the weather. The garage does get dusty from the other cars coming in and out, so something that protects it from the dust is necessary. That's my main concern.

I don't want to spend more than I have to with this, but I want to get something that will protect the car, and will last.

So, what do you have? Like it or not? Are any of the group purchase ones better than the other for me? Is there another brand that would be better?

Any suggestions? Let me know what you think!

Thanks in advance!

Check out one by "Budge." Size 3. Fits perfectly and retails for about $30 -- less on sale. One soft layer, gray, no mirror pockets, comes with storage bag, and grommets to tie it down if ever needed. Best bang for the buck in car covers I've found. Major auto parts stores can get them, also found in military exchange stores. Love mine!

When I had my car, I bought a cover from Corvette Garage. I think on sale it was $99. Worked very well to keep the dust off the car and protected it from scratching. Give Nate a call and see what he has.

Thanks! This looks like the one I may choose!

You don't have your car anymore? What happened?
