I had cheap car cover bought from Big-A-Lots, but it did not last long.

I was looking for a bit durable but not so expensive car cover and I found this water proof car cover at Amazon.com for $32

FH-602 FINAL SALE No Return/Exchange, 100% Waterproof Car Cover for Sedan and Coupe, PVC + Non-woven Material, Sizes "M" Fit Overall Length 156"-165", No Secure Strap Included

It's sedan M size. It's quite nice fit onto Z.

Be cautious that the fabric may be sealed too well. Any cover that traps moisture within can lead to a buildup of condensation and encourage the tin worms to go to work. Car covers typically need to "breathe" to avoid a buildup of moisture.

I bought a cheap one at Wally World to keep dust and junk of my Z while in the garage. Jim is right, you have to be careful with some covers and old school bras. Twenty years ago, I had a sweet ZXTurbo with a bra installed and it got wet - nearly ruined the paint (which was new). Thank god for the Texas heat and polishing compound.

I had a 260Z 21 years ago that I kept outside with a vinyl cover that came with the car. The car had been kept in a garage by the PO and I didn't know about the importance of breathability. Moisture must have condensed under the cover causing a small area on the hood to become permanently fogged.
