I've run out of garage space and the roadster doesn't like sitting under snow. Any recommendations on the best cover and vendor?

Don't fall for any contact from VA members. Only in Texas can your car get year round pampering in a warm climate.
What time can you have the tank filled and all of the fluids checked for the departure?
Otherwise, check with California Car Cover Co. Huge selection.

Mopar cover or Cal cover are both top notch. I have the Mopar (nice Viper logo on the nose). Also - please use the search feature, this has been discussed before.

Texas, Shmexas- they get hail stones the size of golfballs down there. California is where your car should rest out this winter.

I got a $350 cover for $100. Some are not listed so you will have to call.
good luck

One more for California Car Cover. Choice of fabric, colors, excellent fit, and great price.

I won't give it to you, but anytime you want to swap rides on a deserted country road, I'm ready.

Thanks for the assistance one and all, it looks like CaliCarCover is my best choice. I'll get it ordered right away so that none of you have an excuse to kidnap the beast.

I actually would love to take a drive in your SRT if you're really game. I've never driven one before (minus the two minutes I spent trying (and failing miserably) to drift one at the SRT Track Experience).

I'm game, because I've never driven a Gen II and would love to give it a try. And I'll drive it with extreme care.
If you want to give drifting another try, the roadster is just what you're looking for. It has no rear grip whatsoever. It's kind of fun when you WANT to light up the tires, but Grandma on a 10 speed bike can beat me off the line. I raced a friend in his 350Z and he got out front while my tires just spun and hopped. Of course, once my tires hooked up, it was no contest.
At Summit Point, the grip isn't a problem on the main track because once you're rolling, you never slow below 3rd gear. But on the Shenandoah Circuit, I had a tough time coming out of a couple of sharp turns at speed because I couldn't keep the rear end planted.
I guess there is a PS2 purchase I should make sometime in the spring.
