advice please
I need to buy a car cover for my 98 convertible. I have a two car garage and my wifes minivan is also in the garage, The problem seems to be when my kids get there bikes or skateboards os stuff out they sometimes rub/bump my car. Is there one better then another for garage kept cars? Thanks in advance for the advice

not that I know of but here is another solution. If the kids get in the passanger side all the time just park so that the mini van is on the right side of the vette.

If that's not possible....then I agree with Zilla.

No cover is going to help a bike rubbing down the side of the Corvette

The flannel car cover was about $150. It is an indoor cover only and has no waterproofing.

How about getting a small storage shed to store the bikes in. Some can be locked so the bikes can't be easily stolen.

Your safest bet is to build a storage shed in the back of the house for the kids' bikes, scooters, etc. That is the only sure-fire way to protect that Vette. I was in the same situation with the minivan and bikes, and that was the only solution I felt totally comfortable with. Good luck!
