I've noticed I seem to have entered a secret society. Just as myself and other bikers wave to one another when riding, I've learned that vette owners also all wave to one another.

Thanks everybody for all the kind words. I had the windows tinted 18% on Monday, and the car goes to detail for the full acid wash/clay bar/wax/polish treatment tomorrow. It'll be like a trip to the day spa for the car. Can't wait to see it after that.
