Default Friendly drivers

Ive been meaning to post for a while but I havent gottan a chance to in a few days. The last week I've encountered alot of friendly drivers on the road. I got a wave from a black C1 comming in the other direction last week and a guy in his work truck commented on my vette at a redlight and told me all about his C3. I got a wave from a guy driving C5 pace car convertible, and a thumbs up from a guy in a black supra and then today I got a thumbs up and comment on my new wax job from a guy driving an mishubishi Evo 8. His car was shiny too. then on my way home a gentleman in a black vert C4 pulled up next to me at a red light, we drive next to eachother for a while. It was all very nice, I guess when the weather gets better, people get friendlier. any one else?

Yeah I had one the other day. Sitting at a stop light. Some guy gets out of his car and walks up to my window. I wasnt sure what he was doing, but he leans over and says, "you have a nice vette!" I said, um, thanks, looking around as we were in the middle of traffic during rush hour. I nodded and he replied that he only had an Oldsmobile, again I nodded and smiled and he walked back to his open door, got in, light turned green and off we went.

Good thing I live in a good neighborhood, I had my 3 year old with me and my feet were on the clutch and gas ready to go at any sign.... that's friendly enough for ya? IMHO a little toooooo friendly...a little crazy...

Default Custom C4

Today I parked next to a custom Purple C4, it had a body kit spoiler and flame paint job. its great to see people who caer about their cars so much to put so much work into them, it was the fist vette I have seen with anything other than an exhaust system on it in person. It made my day.
