They drink alot... It was funny while we were waiting for a liquor store to open up, there was a croud of like 10 or so people waiting with us... I felt like an alcoholic... The funny part is that we needed the liquor for snowboarding, while they needed liquor at 10 in the morning because theyre bored and wana get drunk... It is really funny...

The frost won't hurt if you don't scrap it off. Never use a tarp since they aren't soft and don't breath and will ruin you paint. A good outdoor cover will not damage you car if you keep it very clean and don't have a lot of wind. You are still best off to keep it waxed with no cover if possible.

Is it better from experience, to use a car cover or is it bad for the car? I have heard tarps are the worst to use on car, but this not a tarp. I hate waking up and seeing all kinds of frost on the bonnet and roof. I am sure that will wear the paint even it I wax the car. Let me know, thanks.

This is true sometimes. You can always add layers.

And we all have one of thoes in our back yards....

Just as an example, it costs alot more to cool a house with AC than it does to run a heater.
