Jackbutt Z06 driver
I was at a traffic light yesterday and a guy in Z06 pulled up next to me. I was in my red Z and waived and said my greetings. This man looked at me like I was the lowest form of life. Actually I will take it one step further...He looked at me as if I was driving a Geo Metro. So I turn away and he peels out as soon as the light turns green, only to be followed by his wife who is in a craptang cobra. Maybe the guy is pissed that his wife bought a Ford?? Who knows. Oh well, not too bothered by it. Mine was better anyway hehe :cheers:

Not all who own Corvettes know or care about the Corvette etiquette. I've gotten the "who the $%@# is that waving at me" look before also.

Re: Jackbutt Z06 driver (ZO683)
That guy sounds like a real jerk. :nono:
I have had quite a few Corvette owners not wave back to me as well.
I just remind myself that not every Corvette driver out there knows about "the wave". (I only found out about it when I started visiting this forum.) Also, there are Corvette owners and there are Corvette people. :yesnod:
Still, I wave and don't let it get to me if they don't wave back. :seeya
Just my 2 cents.

Re: Jackbutt Z06 driver (ZO683)
Seems like I get just as many waves from Corvette owners as other peeps cars... well, unless it's like a Mistubishi 3000GT or something, then I just get dirty looks. haha
Have had everything from Vipers, Porsche's, and Ferrari's to Pick-up trucks and mini-vans wave at me... but it's a smaller "college" town so that may have something to do with it. Seems like everyone really loves this car (except for county cops) and the waves are a nice perk.
I was walking into Target on Monday night after work. I had to park pretty far out but as I left the car a woman and her young son were walking to their car. When I beeped the alarm he looked over and I heard him say "Man, that's a cool car!". Cracked me up, cause it was just like that Chevy SSR commercial where the kids say a bad word and get soap in their mouth. Pretty cool, and I told him "yes, it is... and someday YOU will have a Corvette too!". His Mom just smiled at me...
Good feelings from an AWESOME car... made me forget all about the stupid "tint" ticket I got.

How do you know that the woman in the Mustang was his wife? Maybe he was having a bad day.

"How do you know it was his wife?"<-----
They both had the same licence plate so I assumed as much, plus they went in the same direction after the light and pulled into a restaraunt. Not to use their real plates...ABC 1 and ABC 2
