Go to AutoAnything.com. That's where I bought my car cover. I would suggest the Noah all weather cover for storage over the winter - and don't forget to order a cable lock with it. I chose the Evolution 4 because it's almost as good as Noah but had better dent protection and it was a little cheaper (I'm more concerned about hail when the 05 lives outside during the warmer months). I drive my 05 in the winter so it gets the garage space and the 03 gets stored in my dad's garage.

I may store my car for the winter, only issue I have is it will be stored outside in the elements with no shelter. What would be the best way for me to store my car? What kind of cover should I look into buying for it, anyone else cover their car and store it outside, please let me know the best way to do this, thanks

I went to the web sight that Amy recommended and for like $375 you can get a locking cover for your car that will protect it .The only other thing I would worry about is a fuel stabilizer (stable is what I use ) and ether move the car every once and a while so your tire's stay good and don't freeze or flat spot OR 8" x 8"x 1/2" wooden squares work good like plywood to isolate the tire form the concrete so they don't freeze to the ground

That sounds familiar. Winter and road construction too.

The '81 & '86 Montes are just covered with blankets purchased at garage sales. I always ment to buy a specific cover for the '86 but never have.

The '03 Pace car has a kind of generic cover on it. I had a feeling if my girlfriend Debbie ever got irritated with the cover, it would end up on the garage floor. Not to sound cheap but I didn't want an expensive car cover laying on the garage floor cause someone got mad at it.

The '06 Monte does have a specific cover on it. It came from Wolf who manufactures car covers and other accessories. Summit Racing got me a real good deal on the cover, even cheaper then through Wolf themselves. (I believe the parent company is Global Accessories)

So far I like the Wolf cover. Just wish I would have sprung the extra $20 and got their BEST cover for the '06.
