After the intense winter weather we experienced with blizzard after blizzard, it looks like we’re in for a just as wet spring! A car cover would be a great way to protect your car from water damage. In addition, if a storm is particularly bad with high winds causing tree branches, etc. to be thrown around, a cover could also help so your car doesn’t get scratched!

With the 2010 North American Auto Show touring around now I feel like it’s appropriate for me to discuss my favorite concept car ever—the Jeep Hurricane. The Hurricane was unveiled in 2005 at the Detroit Auto Show.

As you can see from the images of the Hurricane, it has a very unique four-wheel steering system. This steering system allows the vehicle to move sideways, or even in circles. As badly as you may want to own one of these—they’re unfortunately not expected to be put into production. The concept car was not a complete waste for Daimler-Chrysler though, many patents were secured during the development of the Jeep Hurricane.

According to Forbes, this BMW X6 is one of the most popular crossover vehicles for 2010. This vehicle has been given great performance reviews and has a sleek coupe look. With a V6 engine and 350 horsepower it proves to drive similar to a sports car. Reviews call this an activity vehicle – it is practical for everyday driving but does not skip out on performance. If you are lucky enough to own one of these crossovers make sure you protect it with an SUV cover to preserve its brilliance.
