Bought car cover, like it

[Taka Mizutani]

Noah works better than Evo 3 or Evo 4 (had both), but the only reason I'd go
with Noah
over Weathershield or Weathershield HD is for the dent resistance (Noah is
so thick that
it provides some cushioning against small careless dings in a tight spot).

I'm probably going to get a Noah cover for an indoor car (need the dent
resistance and I can't
get myself to buy an indoor-only cover).

Otherwise, if you can swing it, Weathershield HD is the sh*t.
