Smile "Stored" her today.

Not exactly a garage, but I did what winterizing I could and put on the cover. Heavy snow soon so my truck came just in time. Was sad seeing my Camaro like this, I think she was sad too

I already stored her, shes in the closet behind my guns.


In retrospect, putting an angry woman near all my guns was probably a bad idea, crap brb.

Be careful with the wind. That cover only is good up to I think like 30mph. Plus you could get some scratches.

I was worried about this, so I am rolling the dice. Parked near a tree line to reduce wind--but at the same time, it's parked near a tree line, lol...

use bunji cords on the front and back and hook them intro the fenders, the car cover will protect the paint fron getting scratched and the bunji cords will keep the cover on. We have had some pretty high winds 50-60 mph and the cover stays on with no problems

depends on the cover, I found lots of grit and stuff got under or seeped through with rain, making my car even more dirty, I don't use them anymore. Keep my spare tires covered with it.

Im hoping since this is the cover GM sells that it will at least perform with a little bit of resilience... *crosses fingers*

Man, when I drive a car with a cover on it like that, I don't get even close to 30 mph. My guide dog can't run that fast.
