first wave
So I am only a few weeks old at owning my c5 and most of the time it has been kept in the garage waiting for spring time.
Today was about 60 and sunny so I took the vette to dinner. I got my first corvette wave and feel like it was my first lay...
Probably sound like an idiot but thought I'd share

It's cool isn't it? What's really neat is that it's

You'll get the hang of it, sometimes it's not easy to wave while shifting.

The wave is simply the
PRIDE of ownership and the
RESPECT to follow owners. Two words that have been lost in other areas of our society.

I wave when I can, or see them, and it's no big deal....it's they guys that make a post about someone thet didn't wave back I've never understood...maybe they didn't see you. It's those C6's that usually think they are too good to wave...buncha snooty turds!
Just kidding,...Enjoy the wave when you get it, Wave back, give it when you can, and keep the Corvette Spirit of Friendship alive!
