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
i know, it's happened me me multiple times, it sucks

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.
