Default Got my first vette

Got it two weeks ago and am waiting for the snow to thaw and dry up. I stop and stare every morning before work. 03 black ZO6 and it looks so good setting there. Wife thinks I am nuts...let here think what she wants! I got to get a good car cover for the winter months. Any ideas on a good one?

Thanks

Congrats and :party: Lets see some pics of the black beauty :cheers:

You are gonna love it..awesome cars :smash:

My cover is by Covercraft..got the Evolution model...thickest made...I wanted dent and scratch protection. Not sure whats best for snow. I am sure a snowbird owner will chime in..I know some use two covers..one for protection and one for waterproofing...

and wives..very few of them get it...wait till you start the mods..they really don't get that... :lol:

Congrats. You're gonna love it once you can get it out there in the nicer weather. Wives will be wives. Just keep her happy so she let's you buy all of the mods that you're gonna want to get. As for car covers, sorry, can't help you there. No reason for one in sunny Southern California. :D BTW, it's about 80 here today. But, if it makes you feel any better, I'm stuck here at work so I can't do any driving anyway. Good luck with the new ride. Look forward to some more posts from you in the future.

It sets in the garage. It seen a little snow on the way home but got a thorough bath when it got home. I would feel a little better with a cover over the winter. I will get some pictures ASAP.
The mods will come but I gotta move slow with the wife. She will learn!

Miles of smile to you and enjoy. :smash:

Your wife will get used to it and ask you for the keys one day. :yesnod:

If your smart you'll let her drive it, this way when mod madness hits she'll be 100% behind you in your sickness. :lol:

We're in the same boat as you here on the East Coast just waiting for the weather to clear.

:cheers:

:cheers: Congratulations and welocme to the forum. Most of the top vendors that advertise here have good car covers. They range in all qualities and prices, pick the one that's right for you. Hopefully it won't be covered long and you'll be able to enjoy that puppy. :seeya
