I just purchased a car cover from Costco, $30.23 with tax and it fits very well. goes all the way to about an inch from the floor all the way around, great cover.

ahh...good to know. I always twitch at the idea of spending 100+ on a stinkin cover. Got any pics of it on the car?
I don't use car covers. I have seen them scratch and swirl the paint more often than not.
It's really hard for me to keep the car clean without a cover. I use the flannel lined covers. They are not cheap $180 but they work and I haven't noticed and swirl marks.
Me too ItalFord. With all the project work in the garage, they get absolutely filthy w/o a cover.
Swirl marks scratches are not from the cover it is from dust or dirt on the paint and the cover moving by way of the wind. I keep my car in a large locker, no wind but dust so a cover that goes all the way to the floor and is tight on the ends keep the car very clean.

Their is some bulky areas around the windows but I don't really care as long as it keeps the dust off.

Here's my experience with covers;
Indoors a flannel cover is best, fit isn't as important, but the better it fits the happier I am as it prevents any movement.
A generic cover outside is a waste of time, the only covers I've had success with are the ones that are flannel lined, breathable and a snug (designed) fit. Everything else blows off or leaves marks on the car, it's critical it fits with no room for movement.
The dealer supplied ones have been good, a California Car Cover I purchased for a Mustang to fit on a Mustang was terrible.

thx Chris
I have had other covers that are nice over the last 40 yrs flannel covers are nice, but inside not outside this cover does a great job. Buy the way NEVER put plastic over your car.
Indoor cover = two flannel bed sheets (flat) sewed together with seam facing up.
Fit P perfectly, can be easily folded up, keeps cat paws off the paint, and can be washed easily.
does not mark the paint whatsoever

If I just could sew!!!!
Years ago when I was commuting to/from work, I found that a Fiero was very slightly LARGER than a Pantera in every dimension, and my Fiero car cover fit the Pantera perfectly.
