Default Car covers

Unfortunately it looks like I am without the use of a garage this winter so my S will have to be outside . I looked into winter storage and found a place a couple of miles away from me but they want $197 a month I don't want to pay that for the next 5 months. So I am thinking about getting a car cover but everyone keeps telling me car covers are great if your gonna keep the car in a garage but if you leave it outside the wind is gonna be slapping the cover against your paint which will lead to scrathes and swirls. Is this true? I have to imagane in this day and age there are covers that are soft enough where that will not be a problem. Any incites would be appreciated.

dont know of any car cover that i would use for long-term storage... whatever you use, be sure to take it off when the weather clears up a bit and hopefully detail the car.
cant imagine any cover that wouldnt swirl a bit if left on over a long period of time in real weather.
you want to be careful of condensation too- which is one reason that you would want to check on the car every once in a while.

If you are looking for a good cover that fits well check www.properautocare.com for a Weathersheild or Technalon type fabric. Both are very good for outdoors, I got the Weathersheild for my Ford Taurus
