Hey there folks...
I am going to be taking a road trip out to Connecticut in a few weeks to prepare for our move back. I'm going to be leaving my Aero in my friend's driveway for a couple of months while we're waiting for our house to sell here in Colorado. I wanted to get a car cover for it while it's there, and was just wondering what the suggested route is to take as far as brands. Saw the one by SAAB on saabcatalog.com for $155...thought it would be more since everything else in that catalog is so $$$. To my surprise it didn't sound that expensive. Then I got to thinking about the quality of it. Does anyone here own this one? Or at $155, is it too expensive for what it actually is? The car will be in central CT and they've been getting lots of snow there lately. My main concern is how waterproof the cover is. I would hate for moisture to be trapped between the cover and the car while it's sitting there. Is there a 100% waterproof cover that anyone knows of? Or is the Saab one good enough? I also imagine the Saab cover being a perfect fit for the car. Should I maybe get a cover and then also put a big tarp over that? I'm just pretty concerned as it's been garaged since day #1.

Before anyone asks why I'm driving it out there and leaving it for so long...it's time to register it at the end of next month in CO and last year was $879 to register for one year and about $725 this year. It's really pricey compared to CT's $75 for two years with about $300/year for property taxes on it. Also, we'll be towing the wife's car behind a U-Haul and can only take one of them so it was obvious one had to be taken out before hand.

Thanks in advance!
