Evo Car cover and hood vent question!
Anyone using a car cover for their Evo every night cause you dont have the luxury of a garage? i just got my new car cover in the mail, but Im scared to put it on the car right after driving it cause the air coming out of the hood vent is so hot I feel like its going to ruin the cover. Does anyone covering their car right after driving it have any problems with the hood vent being hot and melting your car cover or anything like that? This damn cover was expensive I dont want to ruin it, thanks for any help

I am on my second cover. Ive always waited 15 or 20 minutes for it to chill a little. I dont think it would burn or anything, but it might weaken the material over time because it is kind of hot.

I have had my cover since June of "03" and have no problems putting iy on while the motor is venting heat. We see 115 degree days and the car gets far hotter than that if left in the sun uncovered. I do take care to run my car easy for a few minutes before shut down.
