First Drive, First Wave !! w/ Pics !!!!!!!!
Just thought I'd pass on a little story of my first drive in my new Vette last Wednesday (14th). I picked up my '02 EB Coupe which is loaded and has 5900 orig miles. My wife took me down to the shipping company, took some pics........OK .....time to drive!! Went and picked up my daughter from school and decided to cruise up Angeles Crest Highway. Man, what a blast. The car is absolutely awesome... 
We cruised up the canyon about 5 or so miles and turned around and started cruising back towards home. Came around a corner and a new Silver C6 was driving up the Crest. I wasn't even paying that much attention and I got a wave !!!!!!! Pretty cool.....First drive, First wave !!!!! Made my day.......
Sorry for rambling on !!!
PS....I'll post some pics of it soon !!

Congratulations on a great find. And, it sounds like you had a wonderful and memorable first drive on the Crest Highway, too. Your family at the forum waves back to you. Enjoy.

I remember the first time I got a wave from a fellow vette owner - it was on the expressway, a fella with the same car as mine (triple black vert) raced up to me just to wave hello. At the time I didn't know anything about The Wave so I thought it was sorta weird but I waved back anyway!

I'm thinking that 5900 miles is going to inrease rapidly.
Congrats on the new ride and welcome to the Forum.
