Question Car covers

Who carries a good selection? Good websites? What's a good brand for around $50.Last time I bought one from an auto parts store I spent $30 and it was a piece of crap.

I even thought about buying a tarp, but a the salesman said it's not a good idea cause it won't breathe. Can mold grow on the car? WTF?!?!?

Thanks!

I dunno if you can get a good one for $50. I know that a good motorcycle cover is like $65, so I'd imagine they're even more for a car. I think the breathing is more to keep the car from rust and whatnot.

I've seen most "good" ones go for $100-$120 from like JC Whitney and whatnot

Wolff makes a great one. Just make sure that it is something that fits your car and your needs. Is it for outside use? Do you want it to breathe or do you want it to totally repel water? If you're ever in my hood, I have about 4 of them, you can check them out.

Do you wanna sell one of them? It's for the coupe. I just need something to protect the paint/interior from the sun mostly.

i got one from walmart , its not top of the line obviously but for 55 or somthing its not bad, its the one size fits all type. In the mornings there is no dew on the car and when it rains no water gets under, so i guess its ok

No rush, just shoot me a PM whenever you have the time and how much $$$ you want for it.
