Because it was too large, my wife added a few more elastic bands, the sort that holds underpants up. In spite of that, you don't need much wind for it to blow off the car. A smaller size would have been better.

    Thanks guys! That is fantastic!!!

    I was about to waste $35 on another brand. i will give it a shot and advise how it works out

    Im going to be parking the car for 3 days in a row each week. So planning to cover it up.

    Ive been riding the motorcycle for 90% of my commutes so the Mirage will probably be getting less than 5000 miles per year.

    Present day I have only 15,300 miles total and bought my car brand new at dealership.

    If same trend continues I think I will switch to conventional oil and just change it every January. No sense in wasting expensive Synthetic oil for such low miles driven

    On the other hand, if you are only going to change oil once a year and the Mirage only takes 3 quarts, what's the point of scrimping 5 bucks (the maybe $1.50 per quart price difference)? Other than saving 5 dollars a year.
