Which Car Cover?
To all car cover gurus out there! 
Here's my problem. I rented a garage for my brand new '03 TLS, but after a few weeks I found out the the roof leaks
The garage owner is not going to fix it....... And it's really hard to find another garage in my area (better garage that leaks than keeping it on the streets of Brooklyn).
So, I'm thinking of getting a waterproof car cover for those rainy days. What would you recommend: brand, price, store???
Thanks to all in advance!

Go out to walmart and buy a 8*10' tarp(9.$). Tie it up over the car where the leak is and let it run off where it doesn`t hit your car. That way you don`t have to install and remove the cover every time you want to go out.
Or buy some COOL SEAL(5 Gal Buckett). Pay some kid to go up on the roof and spread it out, for a few bucks. Fixing the leak.

Buy a covercraft car cover.
I bought mine for $300 with the next. gen fabric and embroidered Acura TL Type-S on it. The best money can buy.
Hand washes and will not scratch.

I was gonna reccomend the same thing.....if the tarp is too expensive then you can always get a heavy grade plastic sheet...available at any home depot or walmart also.....only thing is where u are goin to tie it down...reinforce it with a piece of duct tape by taping over each side then punch a hole thru it for your string.Another thing to look out for is this.....sometimes when i open my garage door after a good rain it also drips water onto my already washed car......to prevent this i also used the plastic sheeting and covered the back of the garage door .....problem solved.
