The 58 guy doesn't even look at us and the C5 guy is hanging outa the car waving and giving It all comes down to enthusiasts and just owners of Corvettes. Thers nOOb's in all generations.


When I was at Carlisle in Aug. we were inside eating at Wendy's when a young kid came in and asked very politely " Is that your Vette out there ? " My first thought was oh crap someone hit it, but he said he was driving by and saw it and just had to stop and check it out
Said he had to find the owner and tell him what an awesome car

He was driving a hopped up 300ZX. So I guess all is not lost for the younger generation.



BTW, I have a C2 and a C4 And I wave to all generation's (a Vette is a Vette). Many wave back (enthusiasts) some don't (??)

Mine didn't either, although I did get some funny one-fingered waves from her on occasion.
