[DeTomaso] Two things ??

[Julian Kift]

I purchased California Car Covers top of the line outdoor cover for my son's Mustang which sits in the driveway mostly now he is away at College. I have to say I was and am pretty disappointed with what I got for the price, it's a thin cover that at the slightest breeze wants to blow off the car (even though I have the under car tie cable) and when it is on constantly is flapping against the paint, despite being a custom fit for make & model.
 
I had a real nice cover previously for my wife's MG and that was a thick durable cover, with an outer reflective layer that was ideal for the NV desert sun and that cover fitted like a glove and weathered all conditions. FWIW I got it from Moss Motors, but I see it was a Silverguard by Cover King.
 
With the full capsules in a humid environment you probably want to get one that connects to a small dehumidifier that runs constantly.
