Default My first wave

Woohoo After a month of ownership I got my first wave, I passed a white C6 convertible that was waiting to make a turn, got my hand up and got a reply...from a smokin hot blonde
Sorry no time for pics, but I got the kodak moment in my head

I got my first vette a few months ago. First time I took it out driving I got two waves from newer corvettes.... I thought wow these corvette owners must think I have a really sweet car! LOL Then I learned about the wave thing... and now I always wave.... trying to be the first to wave.

Had the wife in the Vette Saturday afternoon, its hot & the AC is on. We are on a 2 lane highway.

She asks "Why are you putting your right hand up in the air like that? You have done it three times since we started driving".

me- I'm waving at the Vettes coming at us, all C5's so far.

she- Oh, I didn't see the Vettes.

me- Your not alone, they didn't see us either, nobody waved back!

LMAO.

Remember everyone, The newer Corvettes has more power, and peddle shifter at the steering wheel. It hard for most of them to handle that much power, shift gears, and wave all at once.


(I wonder if I'm about to get told off?)



Blame said it all.
