<VV> RE: Car cover

[J R Read_HML]

I think that for $50. he is talking about a very thin cover - more like a 
sheet that is cut and stitched to fit over a car.  I doubt that would 
present a moisture trap problem.  But, I also agree that it would be for 
indoor usage - not outdoor where wind would move it around on the paint job.
