I'm getting better with spotting the C6's. So the sooner I get the wave up the sooner the C6'ers will learn to wave.

If one is approaching, I usually assume it's a late model F-body mainly due to the high placement of the DRL's and exposed headlights. By the time i see the silhouette and realize it's a Vette, it's too late.
I miss a lot of C6's on the road...but do wave to the ones I happen to notice.
