I agree.

No, I don't wave to just any Corvette. If your wave doesn't get returned just ignore it. No need to get upset, not even worth complaining.

I may wave at you, but it will be with both arms doing the FLORIDA CHOMP.

I don't wave. I must be a bad person. Someone isn't my 'brother' because they have a similar taste in cars.

I won't wave first anymore, I'll wave back, but thats it. Too many self-centered artards in the Wash DC metro area.

I find that many new Vette owners can be very obnoxious and they embarrass themselves when they see another Vette owner. I have had several Corvettes and I always have some newbie come over and start talking about his car like it's his newborn baby. Telling me things about his car like I have never experienced it myself. It's like when a dog runs over to another dog to smell their butt. Waving is ok but coming over to discuss your car with a total stranger at a gas station is lame. Do the discussing at Vette get togethers.

I, myself, have the attention span of a gnat. Sometimes my finacee has to repeat something to me 2 or 3 times before it "takes".

Or, could have been a bad day and he was preoccupied with kicking his bosses ****.

good to know that you think new vette owners are obnoxious because they are excited about owning one. what a great human being you must be.

Way to go guys, that is really nice of you. YOU ARE PROBABLY THE A_holes that don't wave back!

So, pull your HEADS out of your AZ$ and give the guy a break. It is something that will continue to occur here, the BEST TIRE, BEST EXHAUST, THE WAVE, THE CLB, etc threads will go on, so if you get tired of it, DON'T READ IT!

Now, that I have ed out a little.

Anyone want to give me some advice on a good set of TIRES?

Sorry to hijack your thread still asleep, but I just get a bit frustrated at folks that want to be jerks about things.
Well said....dont like..dont read.
