Has anybody found a decent car cover for their burbs that fits really nice? I just want something cheap, but was wondering if anybody had a make / model of a modern car that they referenced.

I bought a Ford Windstar cover for mine and it fits pretty well. Got it from Advanced Auto for $19.99

I'm interested in covers too. I'll have my panel home soon and while it will be under a carport, I'm thinking I still need something to protect from blowing rain and snow.

Any particular brands or types to shy away from that you know of?

I have used covers from Budge Industries for my trucks that are outdoors. They are not cheap (compared to 19.99), but they hold up well. You can shop by size rather than vehicle. I had a U-3 size cover on my '53 1-ton and it fit well. The same size is now on my '58 suburban. I think a U-2 size would fit, but I had this one around...

Nice. Sully, why did I think you were going to say that? I just need a dust cover for the garage. With my 2 year old running around now, I'm just looking for something to protect it from scratches when he runs into it with his three wheeler! I don't need a cal car cover for outside, however I have one for my CTS-V and they are killer.
