car cover question I'm looking for a car cover for my WS6. I want a good fitted one that is designed for my car so it won't blow off. Not some generic one that is designed to fit more than one car. I've never seen one of those that fits well and they blow off easy.
Any input on brand and where to get one would be appreciated. Thanks
Mike

Re: car cover question I have a Techalon BlockIT Evolution car cover. I got this cover because it is made for outdoors with industrial fallout, bird crap, sap, acid rain, uv rays and all the other problems you encounter keeping your car outdoors. It is a custom fit cover for my 99 Camaro SS, it cost's 190.00 and I would buy it again in a heartbeat. It gets wet after a good deal of rain fall but it will dry itself so quickly. Even thought the cover is wet the car hardly ever get's wet, unless there is 24 hours of heavy rainfall. It's a good firm fit to prevent it from moving in the wind, even little mirror pockets. I had a general fit for my Saturn and it flapped around a little bit. Custom fit's are way better but alot more expensive.
Your car MUST be clean before you put the cover on or your paint will look like swirl city. I wash my car everyday before I put my cover on.
They are also machine washable.

Trapping water under a cover is a BIG NO NO!! Not even a little bit..
I got caught in just a lil rain this weekend in the 02..garaged it..but didnt put the cover on..gotta wait until it completely dries..(even tho I chamios'd it down )
I use a coverite cover..waterproof..but still keep it in a garage..I have outdoor version just in case I need that 'feature'...
Its your basic 50 dollar cover..it fits pretty good..no need to pay for that custom fitting stuff..ESPECIALLY if its gonna be indoors and wont be flappin in the wind...
