Default Car Covers/Canopys

anyone have any idea of what car covers are the best protection for the $? or canopys? i just bought my car and i dont have a cover (i guess i'm being **** about it) but the weather here is really f'ed up, it rains one day, then its windy, and lots of pollen, then it's sunny, it changes daily, so i wanna keep the SS comfy and clean. any input would be greatly appreciated. i'm not tryin to spend a fortune on a cover or a canopy, but i know it would be a great investment, i've looked at California Car Covers and they're way outta my range. i'd appreciate any help. THANKS!

These are the top covers IMO. I got the indoor outdoor one so I would be protected if the car would have to be outside. I did have to have it out for a two week period and it worked great.

i have bought the 29.99 all the way up to 79.99. And in the world of car covers you get what you pay for. So as long as you get a $50+ cover you will be in good shape.

get the $100 car cover at Pep Boys with a $20 rebate = $80. lasts a lot longer before ripping and keeps more rain out (unless it's pouring or raining for a long time). once rain soaks through, it's just like not having a cover on because all of the dirt, pollen and crap will seep through with the rain and dirty up the car. actually worse, because the car cover keeps all this crap suspended on the car (vs. the rain constantly washing it off the car).


the $100 cover at least keeps it clean during small showers.
