As far as your car cover goes, you should be ok.

While I will defer to mr. gale's superior knowledge on the subject, I would still be a bit concerned about moisture under the cover. At the very least, I would try to take it off the car once a week for things to dry out, especially with a color like dark cherry.

I forgot which race but it was this season, Massa was keeping himself just above 1 sec thus he won't have use DRS thus pass Alonso.

How could Alonso be not happy and positive when he's in a team like that..??

Hamilton.... no comment....

Hey guys, I don't hate Alonso, don't team up on me...

How do you post a picture other than a thumbnail? I've been wandering through the black hole of the search function to no avail.

Apologies in advance.

There's another way you can do besides the method Mr.happytheman suggest.

Attach the thumbnail as usual, before you submit the post, press "Preview Post"

You will see the thumbnail in the "Preview", click the thumbnail, the full size picture will show up in full page, copy the address from the address bar (this is the web-address of the image)

Go back one page, and click

, then paste the address into the box.

Done...!!!

thanks gurney

concern about mold/mildew on the underside of cover was in the back of my head...and it looks like only the bottom 1/3 is affected. It's so warm and moist here right now....
BONUS: if i take the cover OFF i get to gaze upon the Z ....sigh.

I am off the Fresno/Dinuba!!! Take it easy everybody.

Well, like I said, Gale knows way more about the subject than I ever will, but a little preventative action; i.e. taking off the cover occasionally to let things air out doesn't take that much effort. Plus, it has it's advantages like you pointed out.

I had a dream. I got a 2013 Z calendar, but it was in black and white and the paper was like the old Thrasher magazines, which was like newspaper, and made your fingers black from flipping through them.

WOW! The car has visible condensation on it half way up and the cover is almost soaked at the bottom edges...

Seeing it uncovered brings a smile and anticipation of warm sunny days

Probably doesn't hurt. Just be careful while removing/installing the car cover as to not create more scratches on the surface.

Is the cover all weather?

I'm not an expert! lol The more thoughts and ideas on the subject the better. I would wait for Mr.Kenchan to chime in. He has forgotten more stuff about winter storage than I'll ever learn.

I'm a tad wasted.
