Have you checked into those car "bags"? No experience with them and others could chime in and say whether they are worth it or if they are junk, but just a thought.

You know, no, I haven't. I wonder if they'd hold up to the sun. Basically this thing needs to make it through a summer (a lot of hot sun, and then monsoons).

We use the Car Jackets on many of our cars...but, they are for INDOOR USE ONLY!

A breathable car cover is the only real option for outside...another choice might be a small &quot;free-standing&quot; canopy style tent...you can also get enclosures for these. The total cost will be a little more than your budget...but, when you are done with the car storage you still have the canopy...worth considering. You will still need an inexpensive breathable car cover...but, the tent will do most of the work.

has to be breathable like Tommy says. The paint will blister and or bubble under the sweat and heat.
