    Re: Ahhhhhhh whyyyy!!!?!?

    I'm definitely up on all recall information and the like on this car. And like I said before, a car cover is definitely in order.

    Honestly, given the situation, I would have preferred that he didn't tell me about the drops and just left them. I've told him before that I don't care if drops land on the car because I'd clean them up right away after he finishes. Every time I'm out in the garage I give the car a quick once-over and I would have been able to clean up any spots properly and right away.

    But oh well. I'm pretty much over it now. A couple extra hours of work over the weekend and she'll be good as before.

    As far as car covers go, what do you guys recommend to be the best one for strictly indoor use? From my brief research the Covercraft Dustop seems to be a prime contender. Anybody have experience with that specific cover?

    That sucks man! I would have been pist but at least the guy was honest with you and told you about it. I would have at least respected him for that and let it go.

    Yeah. I was definitely fuming yesterday but odds are I'll just let it go and not bother mentioning it next time he shows up. He's a nice enough guy otherwise. Actually does an exceptional job at keeping the creepies out of my house.

    Not a big fan of the bugs myself....actually, the guy who came and did my wife's house last year creeped me out more than the bugs I think!



    +1 on pulling the car out next time

    This is is why you should Do Everything Yourself (DEY). Pest Control: buy a concentrated bottle of Bayer Complete Insect Killer (Tempo clone), and a 1-2 gal sprayer. Investment = ~$30, and this should last you 6 months.

    I have that exact cover for indoor use. I decided on it because the inner material was very soft and I like the layered construction just in case something bumps into the cars. It seems to provide some protection from dings.

    My DD has the outdoor version when I have to park outside for extended periods. It was caught in hail with no dings at all, although it is a bit sturdier.

    That indoor cover doesn't feel as bulky and stiff to me as some others I have. One thing is some dust will obviously get on the car from other than through the cover itself. If a garage door is open and a gust of wind comes up you will obviously see the cover poof out slightly which implies air, dust etc getting under the cover. But, compared the uncovered cars, it is a vast improvement.

    My overall experience with that particular cover has been good.
