I have a garage that is filled with junks so I park my car outside 24/7.
I have a car cover that works well. Takes about 45 seconds to take on/off.
However there are two things I don't like.
1. The cover seems to lose its water repellant property rather quickly (I have a weathertech HD).
2. Massivie amount of condensation on the cover in the morning. So, I get water droplets on my car when I take off the cover - can be remedied with quick QD.

I have not come across any nice looking car port on the web (perhaps I am not looking at the right places). I don't think our neighbors would appreciate us putting something hedious on the driveway.

The thing that might work for me would be a motorized (very long) awning attached to the front of the house. I could park my car underneath it. I could roll it up when not needed. I don't think anybody makes anything like this (probably some weight support issue due to the length of the awning).

Good luck with your search.
