    Recommendations for outdoor car cover

    Anyone have a recommendation for a good quality outdoor car cover. Looking for something that fits the silhouette of the car, rather than a big baggy generic cover.
    TIA

    Rick, check out 'Shop for Covers'. They make one for G series. 3 layer. Inner is soft, middle is a breathable waterproof membrane and outer is smooth. $200 usd.

    Rick I have a factory Porsche (silver) outdoor cover if you're interested. I'm not sure what its supposed to fit as I know it didn't fit a 997 but do know it fits an air cooled 911.

    Ahhhh the sixties... I envision myself one early Saturday morning wearing plaid shorts, black shoes with white socks smoking a cigarette heading to the hardware store to buy a bag of nails.
    SWB cars are an acquired taste however once acquired theirs no turning back.

    Rick,

    I used a car cover with “Noah” fabric for an E30 M3 I stored outside one winter. The snow, rain, etc didn’t penetrate the cover in any way. Check autogeek.net for a write up on the material.

    No Steve, can’t leave that outside. Friend is building a garage and needs to leave the car outside for a few months during construction. It’s a Targa, nothing to leave outside over time in the rain.

    Go rent a storage locker if it's short term. Short shipping container would work too.
