It rain hard today. You should open ur covers and see how it is. Let me know.. also how well the pollen gets thru the cover? I got the car cover from pep boys. It good against rain but not pollen cause the cover was breathable

Best outdoor car cover for winter with snow?
Hi,
I finally found a reasonably priced garage to store my two 95' Sc's for the winter. I will buy a Toyota Sequoia soon and possibly use the high mileage 97' also for winter cars for my wife and I. The lot is outdoor unfortunately and it snows in NYC obviously.
What is the best way to protect the cars for the winter? is there a car cover that will protect the cars better in a moderately snowy environment?
Is there anything else I can do to protect the cars? Are there any other measures i can take to keep them fresh as possible outdoors over the winter?
Thanks!

Whatever cover you get NEEDS to be breathable somewhat, else condensation could build up underneath the cover and cause more problems than if you left it uncovered all together. Just get a quality all-weather cover.

I had my 92 covered all last winter, and as you know we got hit pretty hard on Long Island. That car would smoke tires on command, but after being covered and not started all winter it was basically dead afterwards. It would start after a jump, but it lost all of it's *****. Couldn't burn rubber anymore...it was like it had half the power it used to have. Never figured out the problem as I planned on parting it, but I sold it for cheap so I could get a bike anyway. Probably expensive, but maybe you should get a storage unit? That's what the guy I bought my current SC from did, he was in Manhattan.

I just bought a cheap $40 cover from Autozone, no problems yet. I know it's not a permanent solution but the police threatened me with a ticket because of a dead inspection sticker. Since I haven't driven the car in six+ months I just found the fastest solution possible.
