C6 Surprise!

Yesterday, driving my C5 on a Sunday afternoon ,ahead of me was a C6 Red vert looking realy cool. As he stoped at the red light i could see him looking into his side mirror as i was comming to a stop. He looked over at me and guess what? he gave me a WAVE before i could give him one!

I thought C6 owners didn't WAVE, well i was wrong this one did! All Corvette owners are COOL! Even C6 owners! He realy made my day! (God bless all Corvette owners!)

Cool

My first wave was from a yella C6 Vert.

I think that many people just do not know any better. No telling how their parents raised them

I waved at two blondes who were driving a C6 today, they waved back, and I was just walking through a car park. No Corvette needed. Honestly, it's that simple.

I got a wave from a C4 owner today before I waved to him, which is rare.

Same thing happened to me this past Sunday. I was on the road and a gorgeous red C6 was coming in my direction.. before I could get my hand up to wave, he had already flashed his hi-beams and gave me a wave. Very cool..

The "Illusive C6 Waver." Glad you found one

I wave regardless of whether I get one back or not, but its cool he beat you to the punch.

Love the wave... I was in heavy but high speed 8 lane freeway traffic yesterday and got a wave from a yellow c6 going the other way over a 40 foot median strip and 2 guardrails. Almost didn't see her in time but I did get my return wave off. Amazing how such a little thing brightens your day.
