Not me, I lost sleep cleaning crap out of my garage so I could park both inside, and the Wife's Montero Sport in the driveway.

Car covers are good to go, but a lot of times they can get moisture in them and cause more damage than good -- and sitting outside in the rain like it is now, it's surely to get moisture inside.

It'll live, I'll just have to make sure I keep her with a fresh coat of wax.

that is a good deal. I have always been intrigued by the bowflex system and how it does recreate free weights with full range of motion and the safety of not needing a spotter.

It's a *little* easier than free weights (so you just add more weight), and if you don't have exactly perfect form you will notice that variable resistance crap that you get out of a resistance-type machine. You know, where it starts off easy and gets harder? That sucks.

But, if you do the excersizes as shown in the book and with the correct form, it's just as hard and even requires stabilization -- not as much as free weights, but much more than a machine.
