I'm in an interim housing situation and have to leave my 914 outside for the time being. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Ok, in desperation I followed the advice on this forum and picked up one of these car covers. I figured that by doing so the rains would finally subside down here in Texas! Regardless, the LE is now covered and completely waterproof. My old cover, while not leaking, didn't keep the car dry. Kinda like the post-Vietnam Army ponchos. Pretty much worthless!

Who ever is selling these as "MotorTrend" has 2 versions. One, with the orange stripes has a light lining and is very water-resistant to waterproof, very good cover. The other has no lining and is very thin, does that sticky thing to the car when it get drenched, still a pretty good cover. See further up in this thread, there is one without the orange stripes.
I have ordered 3 with the re-order button at BigA, got the lined one once and the light weight one 2 times...........kinda like the old vending machines where the drink was marked with a question mark - you knew you would get a soda, but.............
