Default getting car covers to prevent getting keyed

I got keyed like everybody else and now I'm thinking of buying a car cover but i have to cut open the cover to show the windshield because I have to show my parking decal. Should i plan on buying a car cover for over $100.

ugh...no. when i see a car that has a cover on it, i want to know what is under it.
it's an attention getter. there is absolutly nothing you can do to prevent vandalism to your car. sorry

If someone wants to Key your car they are going to Key it regardless of a car cover or not. Unless you want to hide your car from people you've rubbed the wrong way. Then I could see it being a lil more difficult

i figured if i had it they would not waste their time to bother lifting up the cover and then keying it. Since i park at school with other rich cars around.

I just cant believe it this happen all in the same dam day in 3 hours, i almost got in the car accident, some hot chick open her door and bump my car at washington mutual, and i parked at Best Buy or at school and got keyed. But I rather get keyed then getting into an accident.

Now if i parked my car I am going to wait until I see ppl leave the lot. and look back once awhile, never park in a tight lot and never park by an old cheap cars or trucks.

Even the easiest cover is going to take a minute or two to put on and take off. You'll be sick of messing with it by day 3. Save your money.
