Default C5 Guy Waved First!

I was out last night for about an hour, driving with the tops off, enjoying the stars and warm night air. Came to an intersection and saw a nice black C5 stopped at the light. I made it a point to not wave unless he waved first. Guess what. He waved first.

When I got home, I shut the car off for 15 minutes, letting the motor cool before putting it in the garage. Came back out and the car would not start. Dead battery.

I truly love these cars.
