    I just did a search for "Maverick" on ebay and the first three pages are almost all car cover ads from the same person. How many Maverick car covers does this idiot think he can sell. there is an auction ending every minute and they are just universal car covers. I wrote this dumbass an email explaining how annoying it is to try to search for parts and seeing a bunch of stupid car cover ads.

    Send him an email as I did. Maybe when he sees that he is pissing off the MAverick public he will realize we won't buy his crap.

    I was going to post about the same thing. I don't think there are that many running mavs on the road. lol, unless of course you count the one's at Doug's house. :D

    Thats it! this guy figures Doug might want a cover for every one of his cars and he wants to be sure he offers enough to do the job!:D

    .

    This guy has been posting auctions for his car covers like this for months. It's pretty annoying, but you'll see them for practically every kind of car there is. From what people have said, they're absolute garbage car covers, so hopefully the dude gives up and throws in the towel.

    I noticed that too. When you search on ebay, if you type it like this:

    Maverick -(Car cover) or Maverick -(Car Cover, Mel Gibson, Honda)

    Everything inside the brackets won't show up in your search. Saves alot of time. Make sure the "minus" sign is outside the brackets

    Hope this helps

    Talk about a major case of overkill! That guy must have a warehouse full of junk car covers. Judging by how many he has actually sold, he's going to spend alot more money to list them on Ebay than he will get selling them. Maybe then he will get the message that no one wants those junky things. They might make decent tents though.

    I would believe there is a glitch in the e-bay system more than I would believe this guy would advertise those covers that many times. I would not complain to the seller but send your e-mails to e-bay. You'll probably get a better response. In the mean time I'm gonna use Adsmav's advise. Thanks, Adsmav I did'nt know that.

    We are in the process of remodeling. I've spent the majority of the last five weekends moving stuff [Maverick of course] out from under the carport to make room for a new garage. So I WILL have a place to store a couple of Mavericks!
