Default Waves and More Waves

I am working a contract job up in Goton CT and took my wife back to the Airport In Providence RI on Easter Sunday. On the trip up, the trip back to groton (by way of the casinos) I passed by at least 40 Vettes (C3's, 4's and 5's) and waved at all of them. The returns were 100%. If you see a Pewter C5 around Groton with Ohio tags, you can expect a wave.

I like giving and receiving waves too, but if someone doesn't wave, its their loss.

By the way, welcome to CT. If you meet my black 2000 FRC along the shoreline you definetly will get a wave.

He's not complaining about the wave. He (and myself included) are just a little tired of threads with people complaining that they don't get wave returned. (albeit this thread was about a positive experience with waves).

I think that once you have been a forum member for a while you get a little jaded about some of the topics (repeated) that newer owners like to talk about. (ie. which air intake, which exhaust, does you car do this, etc.)

Truth be told, it's Monday, and I'm just cranky.
