We will be unable to keep one of our vehicles in our garage for a while. (It's fully licensed and functional and will be used regularly.) We may get a car cover for it just to keep it from getting too hot in the summer.

Are there any deed restrictions against car covers?

Wouldn't a cover just hold the heat in, or make it hotter?

And moisture!

What kind of cover? Plastic tarp? Canvas, fitted cover? Tent on 4 poles? Portable fiberglass carport on 4 posts?

that's akin to putting it on blocks in my opinion. I doubt your neighbors will like that!

But there is no provision that says you can't. Even the troll patrols south of 466 can't touch you!
Go to California Car Covers on the internet to get a good one that breathes and keeps out moisture and maybe will last a year or so in our FL weather.

Does that mean you've seen cars on blocks that were...as I said mine would be...used regularly? Hmmm.

A good quality, fitted car cover, which is what I'm talking about, reduces heat buildup in the car, protects from inclement weather, preserves the paint job, and has a clean, well-fit appearance.

I wouldn't worry about keeping it in the driveway uncovered. Todays cars with modern paints and clear coats will stand up to alot. I left my Hyundia in the driveway and at work for 5 years and it looked great. I'd put a sunshade in the windshield to keep the direct sun off the dash. Covers, from what I've heard cause more troubles than they are worth.

What is a troll patrol??

I agree - protect the interior with a sunshade in the windshield and tinted on the other windows and you should be just fine.

That's more than likely what I'll do. I just wanted to know about the "legality" of a car cover so I could consider all options.

I read through our deed restrictions (in Duval). There was nothing mentioned, explicitly or implicitly, regarding car covers.

They are the busybody trolls who skulk around the neighborhoods looking for and reporting all those apparently bad and tacky lawn ornaments, yard art, and other things they believe improper. If they come north of 466, rumor has it, we will squirt them with DDT or something equally bad (like slightly used dog poop).

Bless them they keep this place from looking like Detroit or Chicago.

Tried a car cover at the condo. Water and dust eventually went through and settled on the paint. Then the wind blew the cover around, and scuffed the finish. Now we just use a windshield sunshade.
