You can't put one on a dirty car and a cover can blow off in the wind. And if it rains and the thing gets wet, what do you do with it?

Don't recommend them myself.
Unless you are using it for long term indoors storage than make sure the car is totally clean before putting it on as any dirt that comes in contact with the cover will scratch the paint. Also make sure it is secure don't want critters nesting in/on your car.
That happened to a friend of mine, he had a late 50's MGA stored it under a cover in a shed for two years while he was stationed in Germany. Got home took the cover off his prized car and found that a feral cat had gotten into the car by scratching the back window (plastic) She died after giving birth to four kittens (who of course also died) on the drivers seat. They were little mummies, he cleaned it up and sold it on as he couldn't even think of driving it.
