[DeTomaso] Rain Cover vs. Tecnalon CoverCraft cover

The car cover that I have keeps out ALL dust and will keep out most all rain
unless windblown.  I remember it was about $250 and came from California Car
Covers.  When I received it I found it was manufactured about 40 mi from my
home right here in OK.

Just my experience

Given the trouble you had last time, that may be a good idea.

Saran Wrap.  Takes up little room in trunk, just seconds to apply, and
comes off easily.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
