Default Saved the Wave Today

I know, I know... another wave thread, but just had to share. I threw 5 waves today and actually got 5 back plus 1. Three C5's, red vert, blue vert, and pewter coupe. Two C6's! both Z06's one black, one yellow. This is exciting because around here the C6's rarely return the wave. I also got one little bonus wave and nod from an orange Lotus Elise. (I didn't return wave to him cause it caught me off guard, sorry.)

Glad that all those Vettes could be out being driven today. Unfortunately mine is in hibernation for a couple of more months.

I was out walking around and taking pictures at our local airport today. Two twenty something girls drove by in a new C6 and waved at me. That counts as a wave right... I did wave back.

I'm all for the save the Wave.
Had Vettes off and on since the 60's ooooops told my age.
Anyway I've only been in the C5 section for about 2 months with my recent purchase of an 01 and I have yet to pass another one to wave at, disappointing to say the least. But it has been ugly weather so I understand.
By the way while owning the C3 for the last 5 years got snubbed quite a bit from the C5's without many waves. I think I lot of them just don't know there is a wave thing going on. It's been around and alive since day one I believe. OK! OK! I'm done rattling on.
