I was at the petrol station in Leesburg, VA. Bored, waiting for the pump to finish filling my car up with petrol and was standing behind my car, hands in pockets, distractedly watching traffic on the main road. A copper C6 came up the road and the guy - in the passenger seat - waved to me. I hurriedly pulled my hand out of my pocket to wave back.

I now know that if you are standing within six feet of the car, the wave is on.

Thank a C6er for that one.

Oh sweet Bejeebus, another beautiful wave thread. And you know what that means:

I'M A WAVER, THEY'RE A WAVER, WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO BE A WAVER TO?

Maybe he was Gay. In the same way that wave threads are Gay.

I seem to have missed the official notification. When did "wave" threads become uncool? There used to be plenty of them on the CF.

When I read the title, I thought this would be a discussion on wave theory.

....when every person who registers posts one, they get old quick.

I think it falls into the same category as people who just discovered the internet, and post videos 5 years old.

If you really can't stand another wave post, why do you waste the time to read it and post your distase ??? Much simpler to move on and ignore it dont you think ? Or are you an attention ^&*re ??
