Default Let's try this car cover...

Purchased on Amazon for $159.95. Carscover (proper spelling) custom fit. It seems to have a fairly soft liner. It's lighter than I thought, but I've never covered a car before.
I'm going to remove it in a few days and report back, if anyone is interested.

Cheers, I've been using a covercraft one on the mustang which is left outside, so far 2 thumbs up. Getting to be a black belt at putting it on, just fit it over the wing mirrors first and then it is easy.

Looks VERY similar to the Jag OEM all-weather cover (the one I have). That too has a slightly 'fleece-like' interior lining. Honestly, if you had the Jaguar lettering on the front end, I doubt I would have known it wasn't the OEM cover just from a casual glance.

Mirrors first. Good idea.

It snowed. Swell.....
I guess it's time to wind down the season.
So far I've covered and uncovered the car maybe 6 times. No issues. I'll be keeping the car mostly under the carport, with the cover on, but I also wanted to try another cover system.
Rhino car pocket. They're not recommended for outdoor use, but I never added a garage addition and after 20 years here, I probably won't.

I’ve used a CarPocket bag for the past 5 winters, but mine is stored in a barn. It’s way too big, maybe big enough for a pickup. But no mice incursions as of yet. Car gets stored tomorrow.

A barn would be great. My wife squeezes her car under the carport so there's a bit of a struggle with that. But she hasn't cleared snow in over 20 years, so I guess I win (?).

Another sleeping beauty as a result of New England winters. Put her in hibernation today. At least she's taking her winter's nap underground with 30 or so friends, slowly sipping on a tender:

So, I put one remote sensor in the cupholder, then put another sensor in the car bag, outside the car. These are the readings at 5 am. I'm up early...
