Question Car Cover

My Z is going to be sitting in the sun at my apartment all day and I was wondering what kinda cover I should get for it. Any suggestions and a reasonable priced one worth a damn?

also if you are going to have it sitting outside and not garaged you might want to
make sure you keep her waxed regularly. just my $0.02.

covercraft is where i got mine http://www.covercraft.com. Great stuff. Durable exterior, soft interior, and amazingly snug fit. 100% satisfied. Just have to worry about not putting it on the car while the car is dirty cuz the cover will get dirty and the next time u put it on when the car is clean, then the car will get dirty.

Even worse, you should worry about scratching the car if you put the cover on when it's dirty!

ya if there are rocks or big chunks then def. Its not very difficult to do, you just have to pay attention to the dirt level of the car.

From my experience with car covers, if you have a garage option, don't hesitate. When I had my car cover for another car I had, it was a hassle to take it off when it rained (and just think if it snowed), or when it was cold. When it was windy, it might be blown off of the car. If you have no option for a garage, then a car cover is a must to avoid getting tree saps, or bird-do's. My SUV was kept with a car cover ever since we bought some cars for our garage, some people think its a late-model SUV. From regular weekly washes, the paint has the look of smoothness, but it was very painstaking to do all the chores. Garage it, if you can. Good Luck!!
