So grayfox2424 you are telling us that you don't wave at C5's or C6's because you think we own them because it's the in thing to do? and just why are you in C5 gen trolling?

GET A LIFE DUDE-I'm so tired of the wave between the bike and the Vette that I don't wave at all anymore.

I saw my first new Camaro today and by instinct with Vettes I waved.

Not me! I went home, curled up in the fetal position, sucked my thumb and swore to never drive my Vette again.

I don't know why quite a few people bash the C6 owners or "REFUSE TO WAIVE AT C6's" I get plenty of waves from C5's all the time and as well as C4's,C3's. I wave at every vette I can and sometimes they clearly see me waving and don't do anything but I'm still gonna be the bigger person. In the case of the non waivers I think I must be doing something right that some don't like.

1 waive is worth 5 people that don't waive.

With early and high mileage C5s going for < $12K it doesn't take a Yuppie to buy one. And with the newest C5 more than 5 years old who the hell would lease one?

C6s seems to be the ones that won't wave back that offen in the DC area

I pulled up to a C1 the last weekend and waved, made both the C1 owner and wife smile (wife didn’t know it was a Vet, he seemed happy - maybe because some newer Vet owner would not recognize C1 from the rear)
