Re: Spider car cover

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@xxxxxx>]

Hi Group:

Let me offer a strong second to Jeff's vote for Big Sky Car 
Covers.  They're absolutely one of the best companies I've ever done 
business with.  Think Caribou, but in a weird mirror-image universe, where 
everything is exactly opposite.  I've got two Noah covers, one for each of 
my Spiders, and they are indeed made by Covercraft and they fit very 
well.  After two years of baking in the Florida sun, one of the covers (an 
Evolution 4) was turning to dust.  Big Sky offered to replace it with a 
brand new one for no charge (no pro-rating), or I could pay the difference 
(<$20) to upgrade to the Noah.  I chose the latter, and during the exchange 
their service was again excellent.  Their prices are also the lowest I've 
seen.  Big Sky is the type of vendor we all should support, and since I 
mentioned that other company, you might guess what I think we should all do 
for vendors who offer poor service.

Regards,

Dean
