 I've been known to cover cars that don't even belong to me.   :icon_smile_big:

I'm sure the owner has them insured.

To some its just another car.

Someday I will hit the lottery and will be able to park my Vipers outside.

Hey, you can hate the game but don't hate the player.

Nope,
covers get blown around with the wind and could scratch or mar the finish.

Agree too, car covers are an indoor dust control measure or a fair weather protectant.

I guess they have their pros and cons.  My thought would be that if the cover was on, would prevent any bird crap from eating into the paint and also prevent any scratches from happening should someone rub up against it.

So someone shelled out what 100k+ each on these and can't afford $300 in winter storage fees ? :pity:

Ghoste

My guess is that the snowstorm may have occurred suddenly and the owner wasn't available to address it?  As to the covers, yes they help with bird crap but if you have them on in windy conditions, it is just like having the car wrapped in a giant sheet of mild sandpaper.

The cars are owned by Chrysler. Our shop is big, probably 100,000+ square feet. probably holds a few hundred cars easy & another 1,000+ in the rear fenced off private parking lot. Whats odd about these 2 is they sat right out front all winter. :scratchchin: :shruggy: LEON.
