Car Cover Advice

I'm looking to buy a cover for my car while I am off at college for first term. I will decide if I will need it after that, but until then, it will be sitting outside. I am in need of a good car cover that is good for outside. It should be waterproof, but also breathable. Any ideas? anything that is custom-fitted to the car? Not sure how much I'm willing to spend, but I'd rather spend more for quality than go cheap. thanks

I bought one from ebay a while back fitted for a maxima. It was about 40 bucks and works very well.

A car cover isn't really good for a car stored outside. It holds moisture and other contaminants against your paint. The moisture can cloud the paint and permanently damage it. If by chance moisture gets inside the car, even just from a very humid day, mold will grow inside the car leaving you with a smell thats pretty tough to get out.

If you can find a garage to rent or even just an open car port you'd be much better off.
