Suggestions for a car cover?

[MadMax]

Good thread, as we had a hail storm a few weeks ago and unfortunately, the topless Jeep and motorcycles fill up the garage so poor Sprocket has to sit in the driveway.

There are some cheapo car covers at WalMart for $23 here; but I worry about them scratching the paint. I would also like something with a little more padding to protect the bodywork from any more hail we get (it's a rare phenomenon, but when it happens it is pretty bad). It would only be for occasional use, so I don't need anything elaborate.

So, any suggestions?

Cheers! M2

Why don't you put some furniture padding blankets like they have at U-Haul, underneath the WalMart cover? Just a thought.

How badly does yours get dinged-up by hail?

I was looking at the cheap $30 ones at AutoZone today and thinking that same thing. My paint and glass already scratch easily as it is, so that was a no sale. I wouldn't mind paying a little extra if I'm getting better quality...
