Honk!
I've noticed that I keep getting honks from non vette drivers. some of them are accompanied with waves and thumbs up. Is there some type of hidden game going on here like, " HONK! AT EVERY VETTE YOU SEE!" it gets annoying and makes me think that vette has a booger on its nose and someone is calling me on it. Anyone else notice this? its happened to me 10 times so far this past week.

As long as it is a wave and the thumb is the one that is up, then it is
.
Maybe the other drivers just like Vettes.

Make sure nobody put a sign on your car that says, for example...
- honk and I'll show you my [fill in the blank]
- honk if you think I'm a [f*g]
- nude driver
etc...
I've seen stuff like that put on someone's car as
a joke.

But that is a sweet FRC you have there too

My vette gets several looks and the occasional "thumbs up" (I respond
with a friendly wave) but no honks.

Maybe just Vette owners in their other cars.
I, personally, don't wave to Vettes when in my DD for just this type of confusion.

I had to wave back and give them the ....
It made my day.
