What car cover should i get???

What car cover should i get? THe weather is horrible outside (rain, then freeze, then rain, perhaps snow soon!!!))

I dont want my baby to have to be out there without a nice blanket to keep her comfy and dry.

What do you recommend? Perhaps the fancy expensive one from Victoria British?

Peace

Geoff

I've a generic $20 one over the parts bitch, fits fine. In the winter with everything frozen anyhow it's not so critical that the cover "breathe" moisture... but in your case on the Wet Coast that may be a consideration

I'd recommend a car cover that has a cotton lining on the inside.. very important to prevent scratching the beautiful paint job on your car!! That thing is freakin' beautiful..

Yeah, something that "breathes" would be good if you plan on leaving it on for any length of time, to prevent moisture from building up under the cover. And also, for down the road if/when you need it - something with reinforced grommets (one on each side?) so you can run a cable under the car and use padlocks to lock the car cover on, so no one can remove it or steal it.

Oh yeah - if it rains, and then freezes, you might wait until it gets above freezing to remove the car cover? because there might be frozen moisture (i.e. ICE) on the inside of the car cover, and that might be a bit of a problem.. in Pullman.

I'll make you one out of some diapers. That should take care of the moisture
