Bought car cover, like it

[Alex Kowalski]

Status report:  I didn't have to get the hose out to test the
water-repellence of the NOAH fabric.  The atmosphere did it for me today in
MA by dumping a huge quantity of rain onto the car, soaking it and the cover
completely.  There's something interesting about the NOAH fabric -- from the
outside, it *looks* like the fabric has been saturated and that it extends
all the way through to the paint, but if you lift the cover and peel it
back, you see that the car underneath is perfectly dry, or as dry as it can
get with the humidity -- there is a little "fog" under the cover in a few
places, but nothing even approaching water droplets.  And the exterior of
the cover dries pretty quickly, even in a constant drizzle.

This afternoon the rain came down in buckets for about 20 minutes,
completely drenching the cover, and I'm impressed with the ability of the
NOAH fabric to keep the water out.  All in all, it may not be a Weathertech
HD, but I can't complain about the performance so far.
