Default Got a wave from a Ferrari

Hey,

we were on a nice ride through the wineyards last sunday. It was a nice warm sunday afternoon and we were cruising with top down. We enjoyed one of the last warm days of the year. And guess what happened: we got a wave from a brandnew Ferrari.....
:cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

Save the wave!!!

Hey Mark!

Good news!
Did you give him a wave back??? He should have felt honored by this !!!

You can buy a brand new car, but you have to deserve a legend!!!
Mark, some days ago we talked about the spraygun for underbody wax -
I´m currently on the trip to lift the body off my 77 Vette.
Do you know any guys who dip the frame here in Germany??? :confused:
I was looking for them but couldn´t find anybody up to now - any ideas?

I was going to post a similar topic. I was out last weekend just driving on local town roads. I'm stopped at an intersection waiting for traffic and a Shelby Cobra(pretty sure it was a kit car) slows down to check out my car! The driver gave a thumbs up, and the passenger waved. This is about the :cool:est thing to happen to me while toolin' around town - considering I always slow to check out Cobras when I see them (No flames, I'm not going to the dark side, they're just cool cars!)
Funny thing is, like the previous post said, I waved at 10 C5's that day - I only got 2 waves - from a 65/66 Vette and the Cobra.
:seeya

Most C5's just don't know any better.. Sad. Don't they at least tell you before you leave the dealer?
