I just learned a lot from this. Being that I have lived ONLY in SoCal, I see a lot of full car covers being used. And I thought that was the norm. But here is the biggie. I used to have a job that kept me around the UCLA campus quite a bit. My favorite place was the Olympic swimming area! Anyway, car covers abound over there particularly where there are a lot of trees. And there are a lot. Anyway, I say to each his own! I love the fact that we are all different and can discuss our differences. Thank you for that!
