Default Cheapo Car Cover?

Hey all,
I searched for car covers and came up with stuff for like $200. When you make like $7 hr and pay for insurance, school, etc, that doesnt leave too much. I am having a major cat problem. And the pollen here is horrible. I saw Target has a Car And Driver Cover for $40. It list fitting a Camaro. Should I or should I not get it? Can it hurt anything? I think 200 or a cove is a little excessive. Would I be better of just not covering it? Anyone bought the Target one? Thanks in advance,

John

The only thing you need to worry about, is if it will leave minor scratches on your paint. The inside of the cover maybe a little rough.

Alright, thanks. I'll crack open the box and check it out. On the cover it has a vette. I guess the others are so expensive maybe because they are a little thicker and custom contoured?

I hear ya man, the pollen here is insane also. The grey truck was yellow after sitting outside for a couple days. My car is garaged, but the pollen still manages to find its way inside.

What do you have a T/A or Camaro? If you want you can buy a custom car cover for the T/A that's made by GM and it has the Trans am logo on it. I live in Nashville and the dealer I order stuff from is in Illinois. The dealer here wanted 130.00 for the front end bra and I got it from the dealer in Illinois for 67.00 plus shiping. If I remember right the car cover is 80.00 and it's custom made by GM. The dealer is Lambert Buick Pontiac. 330-923-9771

I drove with my windows down and left them down when I went inside my house for maybe an hour and now my dash is covered. Good thing I dont have any pollen allergies, or I would be in trouble...

I have a Camaro.

Thanks guys.
