93 MR2 Turbo- Welcome to Autopia!

I suppose that responding with "you oughta move" would sound really crappy and that relocating isn't an option.

Be careful putting it on/taking it off, and make sure the car is spotless first and don't dress the tires/exterior trim as the ERV dressing will get on the cover and transfer to the paint.

I quit covering my seldom-driven toys but that humidity/garage door thing is a whole 'nother ballgame.

IME the "breathable" covers (scare-quotes intentional) don't breath all that well, but hey...gotta do what you gotta do.

If you have an electrical outlet in the garage I'd run a dehumidifier, which I find beneficial in garages anyhow.
