    I bought the Mazda Evolution 3 car cover from my dealer shortly
after I bought my red '90.  It lasted for nearly three years of daily
use - during the day covering my car at work in the parking lot and
at night in the driveway at home (no garage space for me at the rental
house).  It might have lasted for longer than three years but it took
a lot of damage from cats.  It's impossible to keep them off it all the
time and their claws took their toll on it.  I'm trying to keep them
away but I can already see some damage on the replacement one I bought
from Roebuck Mazda.

    It does take up a lot of space in the trunk.  Rolled tightly, it
leaves room for a medium size duffel bag and maybe a little more.  On
softball days I would usually put my gear bag in the front seat although
with a bit of work it would probably have fit in the trunk.

Of course I don't speak for my company.  If I did that
they'd have to pay me a lot more money.
