Car Cover

I did a search and didn't come up with anything. But I'm headed to college (30 mins from my house) in the fall, and can't bring my car with me. But since I can have my parents pick me up and then use my car for the weekend, I would like to keep her out of storage. But then I will need to protect her from New England's worst. So what do you recommend for car covers. I know I can get the factory one for ~$200, but is that the best option. What about some of the ones on ebay. Any advise is appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

One thing to keep in mind with car covers, make sure your car is squeaky clean before you put it on. Any dust or dirt between the cover and the car will cause scratches / wear marks.

Damn!!!! I was looking for a car cover since the garage is already taken. I plan to use the cover when i get home from work, but it's impossible to keep the car clean at times. oh well no car cover for me. any options?

Dont go cheap.!! the cheap ones dont breath and trap moisture under the cover, which is not good. plus the cheap ones dont fit as well as they are more of a universal fit. I would go oem, or ones that are specifically for the TL and are a good brand. As for specific brands??? cover craft makes good ones
