In 2 weeks I'll be going off to college and my car is going to be in an indoor parking lot (under ground) and won't be driven as much as I like so I am looking for a lightweight car cover for my 02 coupe.

I don't really know what I'm looking for, other than an indoor car cover. If anyone knows of a good brand or website I could browse that would be very helpful!

 

Start here.... I've had a "Noah" for 5 years. I use it indoors/outdoors with great success. It is starting to show it's age, but it is still holding up very well.

 

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for

 

I noticed you are from Santa Cruz too.... any interest in tracking your car? The GoldenGate chapter of ACNA hosts two Driving Schools a year in our area. We are at Infineon (Sonoma) the first weekend in October. Then we have another event in the Spring at Laguna Seca.

It's a great chance to meet a lot of other Audiphiles and learn handling, safety and performance driving skills at a great event.

 

Yeah I've been interested in taking some driving classes, just trying to find somewhere to take one (was thinking laguna seca). I'll look into Infineon though, is there a website you could direct me to?

 

I instruct with AudiClub Goldengate... http://www.audiclubgoldengate.org/default.aspx
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "Audi Club NA - Golden Gate Chapter @ Infineon Raceway (Oct 3 - 5)"

Going to the track with a club is probably the most cost effective way. The format is pretty simple. New students spend a couple of hours in the class room going over car dynamics, rules, etc. with one of our senior instructors. Then the second half of the morning is in the paddock going through exercises like slalom, lane toss and threshold braking. After lunch you are in your car with an instructor for 2-3 30 minute sessions, and classroom when you are not in the car. Sunday, you get 4 or 5 on track sessions, ride alongs with instructors. The instructors spend a lot of time with you teaching you handling, proper line, braking, and safety.

The price includes an event shirt and the banquet on Saturday night.

There are a few other groups out there that run regularly at Laguna Seca and Thunderhill.

Speed Ventures - http://www.speedventures.com
Norcal Racing Club - http://www.ncracing.org/

Hooked on Driving is a driver training group, a little less formal than ACNA, but lots of track time with an instructor in the car with you. I have instructed with them once and been on the track with them. Great bunch of folks there too.

Speed Ventures and Norcal Racing Club are a couple of other groups that have instruction and track sessions. I haven't driven with them but I've heard good things about both.

 

awesome, thank you

 

They have some decent ones from empire. their website has a computer generation tool so you can see what the cover looks like on and off the car pretty cool.
