Car covers

[siteunseen]

I went with the black microfiber one.  If I don't like it I'll cover the rarely driven blue 280 and order the BRE.  Money's a little tight right now, I'm working on my rental house to make the 20 year old cutie and all her friends comfortable.  They have pajama parties every night and I'm hoping to be invited.

GL with that!

So basically, you chose the skinny jeans (black one) over the baggy jeans (BRE) for your Cover.  I've got a medium size cover from Costco that's just a little too big but it does the trick for my fashion sense.

And, if you need any help on your rental, My buddy Roy Moore and I will be glad to help....?.

Get the BRE cover.  I have it and the fit is wonderful for inside my garage.

Roy's into stump broken horses now but i could find something for you and your camera skills. 

Skinny jeans...they make the "wheels" look bigger.

I think I have 3 covers and I hardly ever use them, when I come back from a drive or a car show the Z has a fine layer of road dust and brake powder on it. Unless I'm going to wash it again before I put it away I can't stand the thought of throwing a cover on it and rubbing all that abrasive  dust in and causing all the micro scratches to the paint, that road dust gets on the inside of the cover so when I do put the cover on a freshly washed car it scratches the paint again. How often can you wash the car cover?

Probably way over thinking it, so I end up putting the car away with no cover and when the car gets too dusty blast it off with a stream of water from the garden hose.

The tight fit one is supposedly able to fit in a standard clothes dryer one review I read stated. I hope so. I'll be sure and post MY review in a few days.

[wheee!]

I have a tight fit indoor cover on my 370 (when it’s clean) and it is wonderful. Washed in the machine no problem.

Thank you! It looks just like that in my google searches. No Z though, I'll have to add that.

[wheee!]

Mine is the 2010 40th anniversary cover from the dealer.

I bought this a few years ago and it’s been good in bad weather and snow. It got a few holes because of me using a shovel to get snow off and they sent me a 3x3’ patch.

Bought my BRE Car Cover for $39.95 (in 1972). Washed/dried countless times..  The caption says 37 years ago - but now it is 47 years old and a bit faded.
