Default Made my day...
Driving home yesterday, southbound on SR710 just outside of West Palm Beach County, when a line of at least 6 vettes going northbound went by representing at least 4 eras. Nice, very, very nice indeed and lots of waving...

Don't see that many Vettes, and such a variety, at the same time very often. And good to hear the wave was alive and well.

Always nice getting the wave. Saw two C6s this last weekend and neither would wave. Oh well I waved enough for all of us.

I see something like that quite often in Florida...not sure what it is, but has to be related to the great driving weather and the fact that all us geezers have nothing better to do than hang out with our vette buddies!

That guy must have had a few loose screws?! Positively strange experience.

That would be good too! There is an air force base nearby and I do see helicopters and F-16s every now and then on US 98 between Lorida and Fort Basinger.

Very There is a car show every Friday night a little south of you in Ft. Lauderdale. Usually have between 20 and 50 custom Vettes. Its a great show and worth seeing.
