The wave
So I'm driving along last night on a three lane road when I notice a millenium yellow C5 stopped at the light up ahead, it was in the right most lane. It just so happened that I was turning right at that same light which actually had a right turn lane at this given intersection. Before making my turn I momentarily stopped next to the yellow C5 (you don't see many Corvettes around here for some reason so I had to go out of my way to wave). Turns out the driver was a woman in her early 30's I would guess; she looked over and gave me a blank stare when I first stopped next to her. The funny thing is once I threw up a wave she got this huge smile on her face, leaned in and waved to me like I was a long lost relative. I thought it was pretty cool - Corvette drivers are awesome.

Im waiting to put up the wave but I aint waving to myself... he was much older, im 25 he must of been in his 60s... maybe he didnt have periphial vision?

Not long ago, I was shopping in a complex that had a Pizza Parlor eatery at one end. As I approached my car, and, from my peripheral vision, I saw an older gentleman with silver hair jumping and waving to me in front of this Pizza Parlor. As I set down my packages and took a closer look, I saw a well worn, but, beautiful dark green '57 Vette with the top off, too! What a gorgeous car! So, I made sure to exuberantly wave back to my comrad who was so thrilled to see another Corvette enthusiast in his midst. Save the wave!

He probably had prostrate problems (like I do) and was looking for the closest service station
