Car covers for us are hard to come by, that's for sure.

In a pinch, though, I saw something out here that worked. My gf's coworker has an old mazda rally car and it's covered up with painter's plastic. They've twist-gathered each end of the car (hood/trunk) to make a tight fit. It looks kinda funny, but it works for keeping it out of the weather. Need STRONG rubber bands or twisties to help keep it tight.
Maybe a thicker mil plastic could be used for greater durability.

And if you got bucks to spend. . .

www.griotsgarage.com

or call 1-800-345-5789 press 2 for customer service and ask about 90-94 Legacy car covers.

I just called and spoke with them, they say the Evolution car cover (that's the name, not for the Evo) runs $205. It's an outdoor cover. Takes about 3wks for delivery because it's custom made to fit. It's THE very best in car protection, I swear by Griot's products and if I had the money, I'd get one.

Maybe check out GI joes or Autozone, too? California Car Cover might have something in their catalog, too.

I just ordered one of these last night. I'll know how it fits in a week or two when it shows up. If you click on the "Detailed Info" tab it says the Noah in the link is better than the Evolution, and it costs less than the $205 quoted above.

I called and quoted both: Evolution is $205, Noah is $235.

Those were direct quotes for the 92 sedan
