Re: [DML] Car Covers

[Louie Golden <louie@xxxx>]

I can think of about a half dozen DeLorean owners in the Carolinas alone who have to store their DeLoreans outside. My car got the boot out of the garage once my parents antique Harley's began breeding. We also have a '69 Boss 302 Mustang that's worth about twice what the DeLorean is, so my car never had precedent. So both my D's have had to be stored outside. When I leave one outside for more than a week, I double cover it... I put my regular cover on the car, then put a tarp on top of that for extra protection against moisture and sunlight.

I think a lot of owners on here forget that some people live in the South. We don't have snow... we never see road salt. Thus we can and *DO* drive our cars year round. We don't put our cars into storage in the winter, and the need for garages is less down here. For some perspective, I was out driving my car with the A/C on in 75 degree sunny weather today... and it's late November.

Well, like i said. it does the trick but isn't really made for outdoors. i doubt most DeLorean owners keep their cars outside year-round anyway. i think a mobile home court is the only place where there is probably not going to be a garage to put a car in. why not relegate the daily driver or wife's car to the driveway (then she will hate the car even more!!!!!)? 

I use mine to cover it in the garage to keep dust off, and also when putting the car into winter storage (heated warehouse). for these uses it works perfectly and has never given me a problem in 3 years. for my use, a much better 
buy than a fitted one for 5x the price.

if you really have to keep the car outside all the time, there are definitely 
better options.
