Default Got my first real wave!

I have owned my car for 4 years now, and just in the last couple of weeks have been putting some miles on it, just around the neighborhood to test / adjust things. So anyway
I was driving back from the alignment shop on Saturday afternoon, kind of bummed because of the 6 mile drive there and back I did not see one other Corvette of any generation. Then just within 1 mile of the house not only did I see a Corvette coming at me, but a nice orange Chrome Bumper Vert! I got a big wave and waved back. Made my day. That was a better feeling than when the new phone books arrive!

I got a wave from a C6 the other day. He was the one who waved first so not all old rich guys just buy the new ones because they can. JK This guy was definitely a "Corvette" guy buy the way he threw both arms out the window so I would see him.
