Brad,
One thing to look for is a cover that is not "waterproof", but water  
resistant.  The reason being that a waterproof cover does not breathe and  will 
create more problems than it solves.  I store my cars indoors but use  a 
Covercraft 
"Noah" model when necessary.  They do breathe and prevent  condensation 
(better than most) from forming.  Covercraft does not make the  fabric, rather 
they 
just stitch it and the fabric is called "Block It". It  will run you about 
$160.
I would think, and do not have direct experience with it, that you may be  
better off workihng this out so that the cover does not rest on the car, rather 
 
air is allowed to circulate around it.  What first comes to mind is a  
technique for building a spray booth out of PVC pipe and PVC fittings and  
covering 
with sheet plastic securing with duct tape.  That way you can be  waterproof, 
have air circulation, and see what is going on under there without  removing 
the cover.  I would think you can get this done for less than  $160.
Good luck
