When I first read the it, before the pictures loaded, i thought "alright, so I am not the only person that used to cover the car with sheets". And then the pictures loaded.....that is freaking hilarious and kind of sad for the vette.

You make due with what you have - but I can see where the lace around the bottom in the first pic might be a little much.

The new cover - much better.

The thing I find the most disturbing is teh lace on the shelves in teh back....is a garage mann....!

I get the "better than nothing" approch with the bed sheets...adapt and over come...but the shelves.....you should hand in your mann card....
