I went with this:

http://empirecovers-review.blogspot.com/

$35 shipped. It's strictly for indoor use but my Celica is going to be sitting in a Garage for the next 4-5 months. I know it's silly to skimp so hard on the cover but as long as it keeps dust off of it, it is all I need.

I might be asking for trouble with such a cheap cover but I figure as long as I wash and wax it before I put it on I should be fine. Like I said, it's going to sit in a garage.

The material is like canvas so you definetly only want to use this indoors. It fits alright, I think it's worth $35. It'll do the job!!

ok I have a GPS which is cool, but I found this online and wondered if it works like it says it does, basicly you down load poi maps that are updated as needed. when your moving around in your car, it 'alerts you' to 'known' speed traps and traffic cameras.

Sounds cool ( I want it), does anyone on here use something like this? I think there are a couple of sites that do this. this is the one I was looking at.

No reason to revive this topic...but wow, a $25 cover is pretty great.


If it's outdoors make sure the fabric is breathable to let out moisture

My convertible top has a leak but before I deal with that, I need to know how to drain the water out of the area behind the rear seats but in front of the trunk. I can hear it sloshing around so I assume there are drain holes that are clogged up but I can't find them. The interior isn't wet and the trunk is dry. If someone could describe a specific drain location or even better, post a pic, I would be eternally grateful. Thanks.


If you can fix it that would be great, but if you can't try a car cover. I had a late model caravan that had a leak (somewhere) and everytime it rained I had water in it. So I just bought a car cover for it. I put it on everytime the forcast calls for rain. the interior stays nice and dry. they're pretty cheap these days. got mine from empire for $80.

ok well winter is coming and that means snow and ice, I just got my car painted and i dont want the paint to get f'd up plus i use my car as a daily commuter.. what type of car cover should i get and any brands that are good? i plan to cover at night to help prevent ice from formnnig overnight...thankz


There are many types of breathable fabrics available. The big difference in price between the cheap covers (and tarps) and the good covers is due to the breathable fabrics. Never ever cover a car with a non-breathable cover. Condensation build-up under the cover can do lots of damage.

I have the max cover from empire its a 3 layer cover made from Tyvek developed by DuPont.
