Default Bad Day for Waves

It was mid 60s in Vegas today and the roof was down.

Bad day for the Vette Community.

Saw 1 C4, 6 C5s and a C6 within an hour. The only wave I had returned was from the C4 guy.

The cute lady in the Audi TT softtop went topless after I passed her (you can do that on the move in an Audi!) and made nice comments about the Vette at the next light.

Whats wrong with Vette owners in Vegas????

Save the wave

Here ya' go.



I passed a black C5 today and he didn't even acknowledge me. Course, I was in the Mustang. He had a big Ryobi box in the passenger seat. Black C5's look badazz in the rearview with those DRL's .

I was 4 for 4 today...a mini van full of boy scouts with their faces painted in the side windows, and some props from a ricer that heard the GHL's

Good day in northern VA.



Peace

I'm in my C5 daily, waving my arm off, but rarely do I get a return salute here in Virginia Beach...I guess they are too busy talking on their cell phones

But I will persist and win them over, eventually

Yep.....SoCal has become terrible too. Have yet to get a return wave from a C6.......rarely from a C5 (and they're by far the most common). Sometimes from C4's though. And on the rare occasion I come across a C3 or older......almosty 100%.

Us late model owners suck.

I drove the vette today west on I-40, passed another black C5 going east. I waved, but doubt they could tell since my windows were up. Still to cold to go with 'em opened....I couldnt tell if they waved either....I always just assume I got the wave back if the tops on and the windows are up.....
