[Spits] Car Covers

[Joe Curry]

I am assuming that you are expecting to cover the car to keep the rain and
other sorts of precipitation off the car.  If that is your intention, I
think it is a fool's errand.  Most car covers are designed to keep the sun
and dust off and are porous so that moisture goes through them.

Covering a car with a non-porous cover will trap moisture under the cover
and encourage rust.

There is no substitute for a good garage or carport to keep moisture off a
car.  

But if you are really just wanting something to keep the sun off, I have
found the ones from Moss work pretty well.  I have 2 of them and have been
very happy with both of them.

Hello Listers:
   
  I hope everyone had the chance to enjoy their cars today.  The weather
here in the Philadelphia PA area has been very nice today.
   
  I am currently contemplating purchasing another car cover for my Spitfire,
since the car has to "live" outside.  I've had several covers for this car,
and all have fallen apart within 1 year.  Has anyone has better success with
a car cover?  If so, what brand did you purchase?
   
  Thanks for your help........
