If it's going to be outside then water resistant car covers from my experience is just going to allow water thru and will just settle underneath the cover. Not what any of us would want on our cars.

Coverking has one that has high water resistance. Called AutoBody Armor. Still not water proof. I find it difficult to rely on a cover for complete protection from every element. There a way you could possibly have the car stored for those months?

No I want to drive it on the weekends... That's why I'd like a cover to cover it over the week. So when I take it off it's piety I just need to know a reliable website I can order one from. That won't take a long time to get here, im so used to ordering off Amazon prime

Have you ever heard of the search option or possibly google??? Other forum members already left you a bunch of links.

Wait, you basically put yourself into indentured servitude to the bank for a car you won't daily drive?

Yup, my thoughts exactly. Oh well, it seems there's 'one' born every second. Someone needs to pitch in to the banks CEO's bonus fund.
