Picky, picky, picky...  :^)  Yep, I really meant the paint job...  I
find it easier to pull the cover over the car than putting up the top.
Plus, it's much faster to get moving afterwards.  Just, pull the cover
off and stuff it on the left side of the trunk.  Helps protect that
exterior trunk wall very well.

I also find the car cover *very* useful for keeping cat prints off of
the hood, windows, roof, etc.  I swear that my cats purposefully look
for mud when they see me cleaning the car...  :^)

As far as keeping the identity of the car away from thieves, I'm not
sure how much of a solution that would be.  If it is worth covering, it
must be worth stealing, eh?  :^)

It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean it
is.  If you don't, it's its.  Then too, it's hers.  It isn't her's.  It
isn't our's either.  It's ours, and likewise yours and theirs.
