By the responses above. I must conclude that I am one of the only Auburn graduates that drives a vette?

All of this Roll Tide Bidness has made my stomach a little sick.

Of course I am kidding with ya'll.

Glad to see I am not the only one who has done this.

The car passion runs high in this "life style." Self control be damned, knee jerk waves are common.

I always just assume if someone waves at me in the vette while driving by in another car, that they probably have a vette as well back home.

When I am driving my pickup and see a Vette, if time allows I do the following,,,,,Point to myself,,,,do the back and forth steering wheel motion,,,,then form backward to me forward for the Vette driver "C" with my hand curved so,,,and then hold up five fingers,,,,,some of them get it and some don't,,,but the ones that do wave back and give me the thumbs up. I know, I know We/I are obsessed!!!!!!!!!!

I catch myself waving at vettes enthusiastically when driving my '94 Ranger, usually because I have forgotten I wasn't in my vette when I see another. Get some puzzled looks, but mostly get waves back.

Don't sweat it I also have the "MY OTHER CAR IS A CORVETTE" bracket on my company car and find myself waving at Vette's. I get the half wave and confused looks also.

You are the shrink and you dont drive the vette daily?

You choose to drive a honda ?

sounds like you need a lil doctoring =)

Buy a model from your hobby store put that on your desk, take out the vette and drive tell the wheels fall off.. Life is short

Shrink is out...........
Hah! I get more waves from Corvette owners when I wave at them from my Honda Accord, than I do when I'm in my own Corvette.

Go figure THAT!
