Re: car covers: what do you recommend?

Why? All they do is trap moisture, which causes more harm than good.
Trapped moisture will etch paint. Wash the car every month or two with a
good auto wash detergent and wax it a couple of times a year.

Excellent point.
As an advantage I think a cover is good to preserve paint and plastics from
the sun on summer days.

I’ve been looking around some more and I’m leaning towards an actual
car port of some kind, because I want to be able to work under it too.
So something like that ought to be ventilated enough to not have
problems with moisture. Shouldn’t, anyway. Washing and waxing go
without saying, though.
