Outdoor car covers...thoughts

[Karl_in_Chicago]

Adding my voice to the "Don't do it" chorus. The beating the cover and the car under it are going to take with some of those vicious T-storms that have become all too common around here - plus the "usual" crazy winds we experience - isn't enough, IMO, to offset the issue of not having to deal with pine needles. As others have noted it's also a large PITA to remove/store/transport every time you want to go for a drive.

So my g/f and I are going to the police station this Saturday to see if they're willing/able to help me out

I really only need to park on the street on dry days, so it's not everyday, I guess we'll see what the cops say

Thank you everyone for your input...now if you excuse me I've gotta go and wash my car...again

Where I live we also have no on-street parking 2-6 AM, but if you call the police and tell them you need to leave a car in the street, it's no problem, you just give them the license plate, so hopefully you will be fine. Sorry I didn't think of that sooner, we could have saved all this car cover talk.

We have that too but they'll be onto me after a couple days. I'd like them to know "I'm that guy who parks on the street all the time...guy"

I guess we'll find out Sat

The owner if this BMW bought a Sealskin car cover this past weekend. He had me give it a quick maintenance wash and under the cover it went. I normally wouldn’t have been very supportive of the idea, but since his car parks under a carport I can sort of agree with his desire to use it.

He says it’s made to fit the vehicle and “fits like a glove” He hasn’t removed it yet so no word on whether or not his paints scratched to hell or not.lol j/k it shouldn’t be scratched at this point..

I think he said he paid a couple hundred for it.

That "glove" looks loose enough to have fit OJ.

Custom car covers are nothing new. My car covers are tailored to my car but it doesn’t mean marring can be prevented

Show me a tight one.
