The only time my car is covered is when the scantily clad ladies gather 'round her at cruise night!

You're right, but my neighbor covered his 80s Toyota... lol.

I garage my car but stuff always drips down from the ceiling of the garage (it's a commercial garage, not attached to my house/apt), so I need a cover anyway. Here is a good thread on where to get covers:

I agree people may be more curious as too what is under the cover but very few people if any are bold enough to actually pull up the cover to see whats under. People walking by may think "I wonder what kind of car is under there..." but thats as far as they'll probably go. On the other hand if you have your brand new "exclusive" IS just sitting there on the street it'll definetly catch some eyes and people passing by may stop to take a closer look . So in my opinion the car cover is worth it.

Default Noah Car Cover

I have a Noah car cover that I ordered through California Car Cover Company and I think it is great, the cover that I have is a custom cover for the IS350. This is a must for me because I work in a industrial area and there is a lot of overspray dust etc. I also put the car cover on at my house because I dont have a covered garage just a carport and it still gets really dusty. I must say that this car cover is awesome it really does alot in terms of keeping off the dust etc, when I take off the car cover its looks nice and clean like I just washed it .

I notice some people said that car covers can rub the paint off, this car cover is custom made for the IS350 and does not blow around, if you dont have a custom car cover I can understand it rubbing the paint from the wind etc or simply puttting in on the car. I had originally purchased a car cover from Checker's for $70.00 that one blew all over the place and was actually really tight on the mirror's so I can understand that the paint would get rubbed constantly in that area.

I highly recommend purchasing a car cover if you are in a dusty area etc it really helps out a lot to keep your car looking nice and clean.
