Hey man, you gotta do what you can. At least you got a cover for her and I'm sure she loves you for that!

I would clean out the garage and put it in there. Did you air up the tires?

Ouch! Spending the entire winter outside in Ohio? Cover is almost immaterial. In fact, buffeting wind will cause it to mar the clear coat, especially as dust gathers underneath. Your battery will likely die too. I made the mistake of just disconnecting my -ve cable during the first winter ('06-'07) instead of hooking up to a trickle charger.

Battery tender FTW!!!
Check your engine bay in the spring... A buddy of mine found a squirrel's nest in his Porsche Carrera after storing it outside under a cover over the winter.
