I use a car cover on my car, it is not in a garage at all

I have been using a Noah outdoor cover for more than the 6 months that I have owned the car and would recommend it

Does great in rain or dry, custom made fits great

Just be careful to keep the inside of the cover very clean so you don't scratch your paint

If it were me...I'd rent a nearby garage, just like I do for mine in the city. $150/mo, clean and secure.

I have the Porsche outdoor cover. Works well, soft on the paint. Has a B.S. lock but i never had anybody try to remove it.

Seriously I'm sure yr baby is at the ready.

As far as car goes, if just a week or two don't worry just leave it out.

If u must, technalon (sp) is good for outside parking. But once wet it must b removed.

Also DO NOT cover car once driven. The dust will swirl paint. So basically if u drive and don't wash it after, no need to cover.
