Anyone Else With A Car Cover!?

Awww Myyy God, I love my car cover. Recently here in the good old Midwest, it has been like 90 - 100degrees with absolutely no wind or moisture, just straight up dry, airless heat.

Generally, without the cover, I'll get into my car to feel a brick wall of like 800degrees hit me in the face and I'll immediately burst into sweating buckets. Plus, I feel terrible knowing my car is just sitting in that heat, sun beating down on the car, roasting it away. It could rain for 3 straight hours, but when I go out there, the car will have maybe a whole 3 drops of water on the body under the cover.

Now'a days, I step out, roll off the cover, hop in... and it feels like it's 50degrees out there. The body is nice and cool, the interior is cool. Sun nor rain phases the car. I love the cover so much now that I feel bad when I park the car at Best Buy while I work, everyday I think I should bring the cover with me and put it on the car while I'm working. Anyone else have one of these bad boys? Obviously, if I had a garage, the Camaro would be in there... but a few of us aren't that wealthy.

Here She Sits Now...




Here She Is In The Rain...

Got mine from Wal-Mart. I didn't get the cheapest, and I didn't get the most expensive, does a great job of breathing, very soft material on the under side(against the body), fits great and snug(as you can tell)... cost me around $40.

Unverisal. If your going Universal, I think your supposed to look for a 'Size 3'... fits our Camaro's. The smaller sizes are for like Honda's and such, the others are for like Trucks and SUVs.

They're sweet car covers though, and they come with a sweet car cover bag that says "Camaro SS" on it, if you so desire. I'll tell you what, my car looks SICK under a car cover. You can see my hood scoop outline and it looks like there is a demon under that cover.

I had that same cover for almost a year for my z. I loved it. it blew away in a tornado that hit months ago. Now i have a cover i hate. Im gonna work on buying another and double covering it.

I also ALWAYS wipe my car down before covering it. and it will not be covered if its dirty at all. Not risking the scratches. I will get some pics of mine covered up sometime
