Snubbed by a white c-4 vert
The wife and I were cruising I-65 North today in our 66-GTO when a C-4 passed . I waved as I do with any Cool Car and the driver and passenger acted as if we were not there. Iwonder if they would have waved if we were in the 69(427) . Sometimes I think that some Vette owners believe that they are better because they drive a Vette. This gives the rest of us regular owners a bad rap.

I got out for a little while today passed 3 red 86-89 model C4s. Two waved and one I think just missed. Beautiful day for cruising. A person could come home with a sunburn if not very careful.

Could it be that he might not have seen you? We were driving today and the wife said, "Look at that 69 camaro!"
Camaro? What Camaro? I never even saw it.

The GTO is pretty hard to miss Yellow /Black Top . They passed us going the same direction. Its O.K. We enjoyed the day cool temps and plenty of sun. Hit several yard sales . Thats the reason we were in the GOAT plenty of trunk room.

Some people are just clueless.
A couple of weeks ago, me and a guy driving a 75 pull into parking spots next to each other at the same time. I expect to get out and at least go through the standard ... "Nice car, what year?" routine, but he turned and walked in the other direction.
I get more waves from Harley's than other vette owners.

Re: Snubbed by a white c-4 vert (Perfomer)
I've been snubbed by C4's before too while driving my C3 and yes Snubbed. When they look directly at you and your car and you know they've seen you and won't wave that's flat snubbing, but most of the time it's a very gracious wave from most of the ones I see.
I saw a 65, couple C3's and two C4's and one C5 everybody waved but one and I don't think he saw me till too late. I will always wave if I see ya :seeya :cheers:
