Winter Car cover idea's ?

Hey Guys winter is rite around the corner =( .

Soo it sucks ,, if you do not live in FL or cali ,Winters in NewYork Just Suck.. even if you have a garage that you cant put your car in or just dont have one, i wanted too see what you guys have done to see how you guys protect'd your cars from the snow and the effects winter has on your car ,, anyone have any good covering ideas at all ?

i was gonna go get a huge tarp and drive my car on it and then wrap it like a Xmas giftt lolllll and then get like a cheap pepboys car tent? sound good ?
