Default C3 Silver Anniversary....no wave

Today was the first day in about a month that I drove my Pace Car to work. On the way home, I spotted a Silver Anniv. in the mirror. He was behind me for a couple miles. I slowed down so he could catch up and I could take a look. He went by me without so much as a look over at me. I passed him again, and he didn't even look!

Man, are SA drivers that unaware of the wave? ;)

there is a SA that the driver goes to the same school as me. The day I was planning to drop my car off to the body shop, the guy parks next to me, me in my 77 him in his SA. We both get out at the same time, I said "nice vette", all he said was "thanks" and walked away. :mad

Perhaps a newbie, or somehow other in the "unknown". It still made me mad.

Hey, watchit!!! :boxing :boxing :boxing

Can't tell you how many times I wave, mostly to C5'ers, who either don't even look or they do like we're not worthy.

I go out just looking for other Vette's to wave to... :U

the owners manual of all new corvettes should say, on the cover, in big bold print "SAVE THE WAVE :seeya " It needs the little guy too, it can be a holigram or something, for $40,000 I think they can put a holigram on the owners manual.

C5's are the ones I have most problems with too, then most of the C4's, C1-C3 always wave around here, cept that one guy.
