Default Cheap car cover?

Hey, just wondering if any of you all have a cheap used car cover laying around or know where to get one cheap for an EG hatch. Doesn't have to be fancy, just something to keep the leaves off.

walmart sells three brands... one for 20, the next for 40, and the last for 60. i bought the first one, it has a 2 year warranty etc... look at the sizing on the back though to make sure it fits

Walmart/Target it is, thanks all. Yes, the leaves would fly off while driving, but the car is going to be sitting for awhile. We've had problems with other cars, especially white ones, getting these leaf imprints when the leaves are allowed to sit for a decent period of time, and they're difficult to get off.

correct me if im wrong, but it seems that a car cover would put horrible swirl marks all over your car, unless you wash it every time before you put it on, and the inside of the cover is made of a terry cloth, maybe i just picky like taht but it seems like it would jack up your clear coat.

Maybe if it was put on and taken off repeatedly, but I'm just putting it on once and leaving it on. Unless it was moving around, I don't see how it could affect the paint.

the car and driver version is made of a soft material on the inside, and has covered air vents.

i got mine at autozone, it shouldnt mess up your paint. its soft and smooth on the inside. i got one size bigger than the recommended size and it fits perfect.

i live in cali, so i think its good to have, the sun can really mess up our paint here

Buy a big tarp at Home Depot or Lowes or Wal-Mart.
