Momma Needs Help! My husband's birthday is coming up 
, and due to our not having cleaned out the garage - his car has sadly been banished to the unprotected driveway. Therefore, it will be hibernating through the winter in the open air and elements.
I do feel his pain, and would like to get him one hum dinger of a cover - soft, warm, cozy and non-scratchy on the inside, and stainless steel on the outside
He (we've), but really he, has a 99 camaro z28 (and it sure is pretty) and I'd like to help him keep it that way. I keep coming back to the Weathershield HD/HP Series by Covercraft. I just want to make sure I'm not missing some uber-secret even better cover only known to people "in the know" (which I'm obviously not)
So, can ya help me? And honey, if you by chance see this and realize this is me - tell me what you want, but act REALLY surprised and impressed when you get it. *kisses*
TheWife
BTW - I've cross posted this on a couple of forums - as a heads up, I already know I need an "all weather cover", and if you have your car in a garage and don't know what to tell me? There's really no need to respond...

Off the top of my head, the Superweave from the California Car Cover Co. comes to mind. I would provide a link but I can't remember if they are board sponsors or not.
Edit: Without giving away too much, what part of the country are in from (north, south, etc.) and just how harsh are the winters there?

allbaugh - yah, I know, and he feels the same way 
Sadly, its a one car garage, and is being used for storage - and it has to be used this way for the moment.
Soooooooooo, I'm doing what I can. He's already 200'dollared me to death with "just one more thing" for his car and "then he'll be through" *cough*... might as well protect it any way I can.

OP - just a thought. Surely he has one in mind. Maybe you could joke with him and tell him there's not any good ones made, so he replies "Well (insert brand here) makes a good one!". Then you could laugh it off, and see about finding it.
I'm just trying to help. Your post cracked me up. I wish more women were in touch to the automotive portion of a man's needs like that. I wish you the best of luck in your search.

I only keep envisioning that first wintery day as he stands in the bay window looking at his car covered in ice, slosh and bits of leaves.. that I'll have to put up with the grump-meister for the rest of the day/weekend/month.
Oh, and I'm in touch all right.. cause this topic keeps touching my wallet (and the automation part drives a lot of his other parts)
What I may actually do, since I'm finding most of the high-end custom covers are non-returnable, is just print out a car that's got a cover on it, wrap it around a blank check and be done with it 
The SLP one should be good and it's meant to be a perfect fit.
Btw, it's supposed to be really cold so a lot of ice is expected this winter, cleaning the garage might be the very best option, just in case.
Also, I haven't heard "hum dinger" since I was like 5

I know - I do hear we're supposed to have it bad...asked the hubs this morning if we shouldn't truly make an effort to clean out the garage. He just looked at me and sighed
