car cover

I am looking to buy a car cover for my 99 996. I am moving to MD in a couple weeks and I wont have a garage to park the car until I find a permanent place to stay. Does anyone have any advice on what car cover to buy and where I can find the best price? I found this one http://porsche.parkplacestores.com/carcovernew.html

Any suggestions/comments?

Thanks,

Jarrod

i have the same one, but dont use very often outdoors. if parking outside in an eastcoast winter, may want something sturdier though.

I just moved to a new pad without a garage, not that my old pad had a garage that could house my car, but still.

I've been thinking about getting a 10x10 canopy, with sides. I know it's not a car cover per se, more a temporary drive-in garage, but it could possibly keep the elements of the machine, I know my machine is not as fabulous as others here, but I love it just the same.

:-)

What do you guys think about canopies (with the correct fixtures to ground etc.) ?

i guess its better than not having anything at all, I would get 4 sides thats sturdy and good ground fasteners.

Just get the factory outdoor cover from Brandywine or Suncoast. It works OK and does come with a locking strap. When you do get a garage, try the Porsche factory european cover for indoor only. It is beautifully made and well worth the money.
