Default Just got a C5 Z..

Well finally got a Z after searching for a while... Can post picetures later. I have a question though, I need a cover for it till I can get it in the garage. Where can I get a good one at that will help protect it from the elements? Thanks for the help in advance!

Can I have it?

Congrats, and welcome. You can get a cover many places. Mid America, Corvette central, CCA.

Just look on the left side of the screen for the vendors and start clicking away until you find what you're looking for.

Also you may wish to do a search, using the search feature, and type in cover and you'll most likely get a few threads selling them from the vendors and such.

(if you're one of the guys who think the wave is silly, disregard my post)
