Default s2000 sitting under 2ft of snow..

I got my 04 silverstone 3 months ago and this is the first time it has ever been snowed on since its birth lol..the previous owner always had it garaged over the winter. for those of you who leave the car outside during the winter months, do you put a car cover on it? which brand of car cover do you recommend?

How does dirt not blow up under the car cover and get between the cover and car?

The cover fits nice, has two straps one for the front and one for the rear which tie the ends up pretty well so not much dirt or water gets in. When ever i take the cover off the car loosk perfect just the way i left it. Nice way to spend 35 bucks imo.

With a cloth type cover, be careful taking it off if it is frozen because it will tear.

Lots of weight is bad for the soft top, i highly recommend getting the snow off the top asap and frequently.

Also, a cloth cover is safer on the paint compared to the other types when it comes to dirt and whatever else comes between the car and the cover.
