Default C5 Route 17

To the guy in the black C5 on route 17 (in NJ) earlier. Nice car, loved that beautiful sound. Sorry I was in a hurry and had to leave. And I'm new to the car scene so I'm not familiar with proper etiquette. Was about to roll my window down to chat but haven't had luck with other vette owners (not pointing fingers but C8 owners for the most part) so decided to not do it. Had a blast cruising down the road.

You probably won't see this, but just thought I'd post it here cuz that made my night. Cheers!

You just never know who is on the forum and hopefully that owner will see this.

Older cars tend to have more Corvette focused people. The newer cars have attracted new people who may not be as open or informed.

Route 17 was a big street racing scene back in the 70's. Down by that burger joint who's name escapes me.

Along with my C6 I own a '67 E-Type Jag. Owners of modern Jaguars don't even know what it is much less wave when we pass, lol.
