Car covers
I am not sure where to put this thread.
I am looking for a good outdoor car cover. I can't spend much money for I am a college student. That car will be sitting for most of the year, though I could make the trip to air out the cover once in a while and start her up and whatnot. SLP apparently makes a good non-waterproof cover that $185, and I definitely could not spend more then that. I don't know if I could even spend that. So, does anyone have any suggestions or experiences with outdoor car covers?

Don't forget to pour fuel stabilizer in your tank.
As far as the cover goes, the "NOAH" covers are pretty decent from my experience. With whatever cover you choose, make sure you anchor it down properly so it doesn't whip in the wind, damaging your paint and the cover itself.

I'll check out NOAHs. Do you think I need fuel stabilizer if I drive the car once a month?

Yes and It does not hurt to add it.

OK, I saw the NOAH cover for around $150 at a few places. I think that's my cover.
