    Does it need to be covered on the garage?

    I don't cover my car since it's in the garage the other 9 months of the year in NJ when the roads have not salt, not covered. I just clean it in the spring (doesn't get much of anything on it in the garage...)

    Mine didn't have one. Got it in October, CPO from dealer. Do these cars come with the cover?

    I'm using Coverkings Stormproof covers. Lovely fit and doesn't scratch like the al cheapo ones you find on eBay.

    Yes. My 360 came with a car cover, 2 seat covers and a steering wheel cover and I believe the 430 was similarly equipped. That said you can buy very good aftermarket covers from Ricambi.

    LOL. Yeah that would suck. It is of course resting on the locks.

    Too hot mate. Would have sticky button issues then. LOL....

    Love the winter weather in Melbourne...night drives are simply amazing with the cold air getting drawn into the intakes. The throttles will just spring open allowing the F-engine to roar proudly whilst the sheilas stand alongside with soaked knickers. LOL.

    In your garage, all the 430 is going to get is dusty. Five minutes with a hose in the spring and she will be fine. The dust will not hurt anything. My personal opinion is you damage the paint more putting on and removing a cover than you help it by covering it
