For you winter folk. Do you cover the vette when not in use??

Yes. Covered in garage at all times except for when she's cooling off from a hard day's run. The ZR1 always gets the same treatment (like a spa) after a drive. Battery tender gets hooked up, car gets dusted and bugs removed, wheels wiped down and then the cover.
Yep, I'm not afraid to admit she's treated well.

I don't cover my Vette, I enjoy looking at it too much.
I used a cover on some past cars. It was a PIA getting on and off, and another big thing to store when not in use. I also wondered how much damage I was doing to the paint finish since the cover touched the ground occasionally and could have picked up grit.

I used to cover religiously. I kept getting tiny scratches and couldn't figure out where they were coming from as I'm **** in caring for the paint. I stopped covering and presto.....no more tiny scratches. My guess was the dust works its way into the fabric and when you place it on the car and slide it and stretch it over the corners.....you get scratches. My cover was an expensive flannel lined cover that was sent to the cleaners numerous times over the few years I did use it. I'll never use another one period!

Covered with Battery Tender since December 5th .... BUT NO MORE. Took the '07 out of storage today .... yea ! After about 5 miles of warming up, she carved very nicely on I-69 here in northern Indiana. Battery Tender worked like a charm ... highly recommend the cigarette lighter adapter.
I will use the cover through the spring if the weather turns ... UGLY!
