I try and wave at all vettes also but a ***** in silver C6 didn't return the wave on the way home from work today. Other than that every wave I have offered has been returned. Oh, and there was a red StingRay right behind me when the C6 passed us both.
I guess he's better than us lowly < C6 drivers...

I think she really gets a big kick out of the camaraderie. As a matter of fact, so do I!

I wave every chance I get in my C5. When I'm not in it, I still give them a big thumbs up.
If I miss a wave, I feel bad about it for the rest of the day.
Was in my dad's 96 Convertible with the top off last weekend and waved to, two different C5's on the freeway going the opposite direction. Yes the wave is alive in San Diego!

I was driving around yesterday with the top down and the radio was loud. As I was adjusting my stereo a black C5 drove past me and I caught the wave from him just as it became too late to wave back. I have had this guilty feeling ever since, the only thing worse than not getting a wave is missing your opportunity to wave back.
If you own a black C5 and were near 435 and Antioch (in Overland Park) and you waived to an idiot in a Quicksilver vert....
beter late than never, right?

). As I got on 435 Eastbound off of Metcalf, I saw a black C5 ahead of me. Traffic was heavy and I followed him off on to N 470 when I finally got a chance to pass. He must have been snoozing, because I had to give him a little horn beep, so he'd look over and see my wave. He waved back and with the thinning traffic I then proceeded to push my luck for the remaining 100 miles home.

It happens. Sometimes you are changing lanes and/or watching traffic. Sometimes have the phone thing going.
Did you know you can flip you turn signal like flipping your Brights and your DRL's will flash. I sometimes do this if I'm one handed at the time.

Was this around 10:00am on Wed? I went to OP on Tuesday to have dinner with my Dad for my birthday. I stayed the night and drove back to Columbia on Wednesday morning (it wasn't a late start, I had to wash her first ). As I got on 435 Eastbound off of Metcalf, I saw a black C5 ahead of me. Traffic was heavy and I followed him off on to N 470 when I finally got a chance to pass. He must have been snoozing, because I had to give him a little horn beep, so he'd look over and see my wave.
