Default Got my first wave today

It was a beautiful day so my girlfriend and i went on nice 40mile round trip out in the stingray with the tops off. Got snubbed by a black C6, but later i got a wave from a lady in C5 vert. It was beautiful day and the car drove great, my girlfriend had a smile on her face the whole time.

Was driving the 08 today. Wifey wanted to go for a drive (95 and humid outside ) so it was an easy decision to take the C6 coupe over the 68 vert with no A/C.

Only saw one other Corvette, it was a late model C3 sitting in the parking lot of a country store. The driver sitting in it wasn't paying attention so I gave a tap on the horn and a wave. Looks like he was rolling a dubie or something, he looked up and was like WTF?

Was perfect in jersey, high 70's and low humidity. If it was for the "leather" it would have been perfectly comfortable.

Obviously the driver was in lah-lah land. Been there. Done that. Hated it. I didn't realize a Vette had passed until it was too late to wave. I was SO embarrassed.

Maybe the other drivers just aren't paying attention... around here all 'vette owners wave to each other, just like when I was in BG KY.
