Default My first wave.......

I have been hanging out on here for awhile now, trying to learn as much as I could before picking up my coupe. Most importantly, I learned about "the wave". Not all believing at first, until.

The very first corvette I passed within the very first hour of driving, there was no hesitation, and I got my first wave!

To whoever you are out there, in the NW burbs of Chi town, driving your yellow coupe. You made a newbie incredibly happy!

Thanks

WAIT UNTIL YOU GET YOUR FIRST WAVE AND MAYBE FLASH FROM A HOT BLONDE WOMAN IN A VETTE THEN YOU WILL PASS OUT

I know what you mean. I owed my C5 for not even 24 hrs and got the wave from a kicking azz blue vette. It's a good feeling and great tradition

I can't take credit because you probably weren't all the way out by me, but I was out waving yesterday. Welcome. Now don't get discouraged when you get some 'no waves'. I happens.
