I need a car cover
I want to buy a decent cover for my 1999 can.
if memory serves me right these guys sell decent covers. Right now they are having a pretty good sale.
Does anyone have one?
Can you give some feedback on the outside cover? Plus they have a code on there home page for an additional 10% off. I’m ready to pull the trigger but I don’t want to buy crap.

I've bought many different covers over the years and now have settled on the Covercraft tan flannel ones. Go to their site and read about them, but Amazon has the best price I could find. They have all kinds.

Make sure to put some rodent killer in various areas of the car. Mice. rats and squirrels love a covered car and will eat your wires while waiting for spring...

That's a pretty good price on the CoverCraft. I bought a similar CoverKing cover for my '99 C4 and I'm pretty happy with it. The original price is inline with what I paid. My car lives outdoors.

I have one of those and it works as advertised, though some moisture still appears between the car and the cover during heavy rain (condensation, I believe).
I started a live chat on the site and told the guy I saw it on Amazon for cheaper and he gave me an additional discount code to use when ordering direct.

So what is the verdict?
Is Covercraft the best all though I don’t the price I would still pay.
The one from carcover.com is half the cost. Does anyone have one? Opinion?
This is not an easy decision to make because of all the options and price point.
I still hope to hear more opinions and options.

What are your expectations for the cover? Are you parking outside and expect no contact with environment whatsoever? Or are you parking in a garage and trying to keep dust off?
Just asking because I have a ratty one I found in my frunk when I bought the car, and mine is more of a "keeping the dust off" cover. It has holes in it that are patched with duct tape, and the edges are frayed. But it works great.

Just be mindful of the cars that are parked outside with covers can actually trap moisture and dirt which could damage the car's paint. It experiences a type of greenhouse effect. It's best to keep the car under a open car port with the covering.

I drove my car 40 miles to my destination then home with no problem. I just drove the speed limit and stayed cool.
I wouldn’t drive in actual snow but once the roads are clear it’s fine.
So my intention now is to drive it all winter.
I hive it a good 10 minute warm up before I go.
I have Michelin Pilot tires in it. I don’t speed I just drive like it was my wife’s car. I spend most of my time in 2nd gear. I plan on hitting the touch less car wash right around the corner from wear live.
Its not like my 74 targa I once owned. That thing would have disintegrated with rust.
Our modern cars are go to go and protected from rust just so long as I keep it clean.

CoverCraft is okay but CoverKing is better.
