Default Got my first wave...

Got my first wave today, and oddly enough it's not my car, I work for a corvette shop. We just finished a 2002 blk/blk Z06 and we were doing a test run after tune and logging some data. Coming back to the shop I got a wave from an older guy in a C4. Definately made my day knowing that the tune is spot on and I got my first wave =D

Seems like us vette types are attracted to the "wave" kind of vehicles. Got waves in my CJ7 jeeps, C4 vette in the 80's and my C5 vette/HD m/c. There's a guy at work that I don't know real well, but I see his graphite C5 coupe everyday, he parked yesterday and came in wearing a jacket with HD/HOG patches, so I'm assuming he rides a hog too..

BTW....
