Good car cover

Well, its almost getting to that time to put the car into storage. I'm looking at different car covers both at snake oyl and parts rack. Does anyone know of any other good car covers? I think I only want to spend about 300 tops on one.

I have a capsule. It works really nicely for long term. It's a bit of a pita to put the car in and out of it, but you can't beat it for ultimate long term protection.

It's not that bad. Takes about ten minutes once you get used to it.

Josh, I used California car cover, it's local to me and reasonably priced. Fits perfect. There's an indoor model and an indoor/outdoor model. They have a website.

I second that. No one with a viper is cheap, but I hate to waste money. Don't laugh ... I got one at Costco for $30 or $40 that works great. It fits well, and the material is very thick (to the point that it provides a little impact protection). Stop by Costco and open a box before you spend a lot of money, unless you really want a viper logo.

I've been using California Car Cover SuperWeave for quite some time now. It is advertised as an outdoor/indoor cover, but the material is awesome. Very light weight and fits perfect. The material is very smooth and treats the paint well. I've had five of them over the past few years for my C4 Vette, 2 Supras, and 2 Vipers.
