Default To Cover or Not to Cover?

Hi Guys,

Winter is approaching fast, and Im not lucky enough to own a garage, so what do I do???

Theres no garages for rent, within a reasonable distance, and Im not sure a full cover will cause more harm than good, IE scratching, and trapping mositure provoking rust.

At the minute, Im considering just a roof cover to protect the roof in Icey conditions, and just wash the rest of the car as often as possible.

All sugestions will be aprecciated.

I use one of the blue Honda covers (one on ebay at the moment) and have found it to be excellent as long as you occasionally re waterproof it and only put it on the car when it is clean.
In the winter I tend to wash the car after a weekends use and leave it on until the next weekend.
High winds can upset it though

Hmmmm, I do fancy the blue honda cover, as it fits the car perfectley. I would just leave it out all the time, its just she's an earley S , and probabley more suseptable to corrosion etc.

Does anybody know how much the Honda cover is from Honda?
