What are the best WATERPROOF car covers?
I have decided I am going to put my car on hold till spring next year when I will Finish the car. I have more important things to do right now then worry about this car when I don't have a license. I also feel like I don't have enough money to do everything I want to do, and I will need it for safety. Right now school is first, Health is second and friends third. I have no room for cars in my life right now.

Well I dont think their will be enough room for 2 cars, an engine trans, all the other stuff I might not get around to installing. But I came up with an idea, One of my friends expresses interest in cars, and my other friend Den works at avanel action auto, and restored a real nice cuda with his dad, So I might ask for them both to come help me get the motor in the car, Maybe Den can help me with the TC lock up since he is a genius with wires.

you dont want a waterproof car cover unless you plan on repainting. they need to breath so mold doesnt form.

this is true, you will get a little wet, but it still protects from uv rays, and it's a little buffer so she doesn't get scratched or dirty

If you really want a good cover get a California car cover. Its worth the investment. If you just want something quick and dont care about the paint on the car now get a tarp and bungee cord it on.

while this is the most sound of the offered products, i don't think it'll last long being outdoors. the California car cover company sells several different varieties at different price points. take the last $200 you have and at least protect that was-new-paint-last-year.
