Default Cool wave experience

Cool Corvette story.........as I was merging into traffic on I-30 this morning, I saw another C5 in the mirror coming up on me in the far left lane. As he came by, I see the driver is already waving, and his "little man" is glued up against the passenger window looking and waving too. Gave me the shivers........

I was stopped at a stop sign yesterday. A C4 came along and stopped to let me cross. Considering this was around Boston, I thought for a minute he may have stalled out. Nobody gives you a break around here! Thank you C4! and Happy !

My 7 year old little man is as excited about the Vette as I am. I have not taught him the wave yet but I can't wait until it warms up and we go driving. I can see him now, scanning his sector for a Vette to wave at!

Being a new member here, (I bought my C5 last July), I'm just now overcoming my "stagefright" of posting and/or starting new threads. Silly as it may sound, it's so cool to see other members responding to my posts even though I may be a "nobody". You guys are great!!

Big group hug now......

Always a good felling when you receive a wave and give one to someone.
