Default C5 dis

Driving to work this morning. Following a C5 that must live close to me onto I-95. Car was a silver glass top coupe with an "LS 1" decal on the rear bumper. I'm behind it in the left lane. There was a ford explorer speeding around both of us in the rush hour traffic and trying to cut into our lane. Bright beautiful winter morning, feeling the corvette camaraderie, neither one of us is gonna be dissed by an SUV! Good to be alive. The SUV goes to the far right and heads up the highway. I settle in to the drive behind the C5 and... he tosses a cigarette butt out the window that hits my windshield! WTF? Traffic was heavy so I suppose it could have come from another car, but it sure looked like it came from the C5. :mad

On the other hand, pulled into a mini mall parking lot following a C5 Vert. Driver,a young man, gets out, walks by and says " I love your car". Made my day.

WTF...my sentiments exactly. I can't make everyone that smokes quit. The least they could do is hold the butts in their ash tray or some other receptacle and dump them when they get out of the car. This has happened too many times to me! :mad

yeah that sucks man, what I find amusing is all of the hippies who smoke, now dont get me wrong I am a pretty enviromentally concious guy, but when I hear hippies bitching about the env. and then flicking a cigarette out a car window or just tossing it on the ground :mad Let alone supporting the tobacco industry :rolleyes: Oh well :cheers:
