Default A surprise wave today...

Today, as I was cruising around in the Prairy City area, I got a wave from a LAND ROVER! If you are out there, I saw you! Here is your
EWAVE back. I was too surprised to do it then.

I saw a Vette a few weeks ago - a rare event in my neck of the woods - and the wife gave me a real hard time for waving.

I was driving the Golf at the time:o

i wave at every vette i see and most of the time it turns out to be a dude in his 40s that looks straight ahead and rides on by
most of the morons in my area have obviously never heard of this site or 'corvette brotherhood/sisterhood'

That's nothin! I was a few miles out of town on my bike (bicycle) recently, heading home after a long ride and I waved at a Vette and he WAVED BACK too! I wonder if he figured I might be a Vette owner?

I am not so sure that it is linked to age, but more to first time Corvette owners. I am 61 and I wave at all vettes. But then I learned about the wave with my first vette back in 1968. So lets not pick on us old timers.
By the way I also wave in our Trailblazer and the wife thinks I am a little nuts.

We need a way to let Vette drivers know we have a vette to, even if its at home.

May be flash a 12x20 pic out the window and wave.

Saw a C3 the other day almost missed waving to him as it didn't really click that it was a vette with those ginormous pop-up lights. But he started waving and I was able to fire one off before we passed.
