I just picked up my 2017 Grand Sport. It was a "Courtesy Delivery" from a out of state dealer. The shipping cover was left in the car. Is there any reason to keep it? Is it worth anything to anyone? I hate to just throw it away!

I threw mine away. You can't reuse it, so I guess if you like keeping big, dirty wadded up ***** of trash, then you should hang on to it.

Yea, most are advised or do throw away. Not easily reused and takes up a bunch of space. As long as they are currently being produced, getting another one that is being thrown away would be pretty easy.

They usually give you the option though. There are definitely some Corvette folks out there that want to keep EVERYTHING original about the car.

Worthless, just throw it away and most importantly enjoy your Vette.

Forty years from now the NCRS people will drool over one in good shape.
Until then, worthless.

Mine was so torn up I couldn't piece it back together. If your dealer was careful removing you could prob. reuse but like others said it is a big ball of plastic to store. I chunked mine.

My car was shipped in the rain,so It was not worth saving.

For many folks,having it is like having the build sheets.It's nice to have.
