[RANT] Darn C2 guys don't wave!
So it's a beautiflul day and I have Joe Walsh blasting in my ears and what do I see comnig my way? A very nice red C2 convertible coming my way... looks like a 63 or a 64, I extend my arm fully skyward and give a huge WAAAAVEEE back and forth, to make sure they saw me. These 2 guys look over at me and just drive right by without waving.... 
... I'm like, WTF??? snobs!!! So what if I was out running ??? I waved! They could have waved back!

Let's see - A guy running waves at a car, he expects them to know he's a Corvette guy. They just figured he's weird, waving at people he doesn't know.... Geez, then he gets upset about it! Get a life, worry about the big things and let the small stuff go by.

thanks Corz! It's so hard being misunerstood... hmmmm... think I'll write a song about that... "I'm just a soul whose intentions are good... Oh Lord, please don't let me be misundersood!"
But it was, in fact, a true story! Right down to the Joe Walsh part. I always run with radio/headphones! It was such a beautiful day and that vette looked so nice I couldn't help but wave!

I and the wife seem to be lucky, we get waves back 99% of the time. Well; except for C6's.
I kid you not !
seems every generation will give us a wave back, except for the C6 drivers. Right now - neither of us will initiate a wave to a C6. If they wave first, then we will wave back at them... but we've decided that a C6 will have to make the first move.

I would not even look at you LOL.. :o
Now maybe if you were walking with your wife, or any female
it might have been a little different.

I was hesitant to initiate the wave BUT I do and so far, everyone waves back except c5's. I figure if the vette owner has owned it long enough, enjoys it enough, learned to appreciate it despite it's trouble but generally just "gets it" (owning one of these beautiful classics) they will wave back. If they don't wave back, then they don't get it. Their loss, not mine. Poor slob.
I just place a hand up , palm out and a quick wave as an acknowledgement. Works (almost) everytime!
