Congrats on the new Vette. Bet you enjoyed the ride home. I flew to Flint MI and drove about 2300 miles home when i got my 2k last year.
Best of luck with the vette, great color.
See you found the fog lights on the turn signal lever Sometimes hard to see a wave and hard to wave in traffic too, so i use it too....

Put some info on your signature when you have a chance, people will be interested..

Congrats on the new ride, I think you'll find that owning one is whole lot better than wishing you owned one!

Continue to wave, even if some dont - most do.

Congrats on your C5 - great color and looks like you have a head start on the mods with the ones already on the car.
