Default Save the wave

Friday I'm driving down the street in my 95' coupe and here comes a new Sunset Orange C6 vert. As we got close he actually waved to me first. I was so surprised that I forgot to wave back. Now he probably thinks that I'm the snob. I guess I'll go back to waving at all vettes.

I waved to a red C5, even after we left from the cruise-in. I liked the look on people's faces when they saw 3 corvettes drive by in a row.

I always wave, regardless of generation. I still get a charge out of it.

Took the Z for a short ride last weekend and came across a Viper and a 911. The 911 waved to me! I wasn't expecting a wave, so I didn't get a chance to wave back before he passed by.

Where I live there are barely any vettes, so the downside is when I do see one, no one really waves back.

Yesterday, on the way to the cruise-in I didnt see a single vette on the highway coming up from the south. Another forum member said he came from up north and didnt see any either. But I waved to people when I got there

We wave to all, and most all return the wave.

I can't count how many time we've waved from our C5 at a C4 and gotten a look of stunned amazement in return...

I always wave at anyone who waves first no matter what they drive. I grew up in a small town. Vettes always get waves from me.
