Default different "wave" story

Last Sunday, my wife and I had stopped by a local "establishment" for a quick sandwich and a . We didn't have the vette, we had been to Home Depot with the Silverado. But, I did have on a "BORLA" hat. While we were there, an '03 triple black vert pulls in next to us. The driver (about 30) and an elderly man get out and go inside. I went in to pay our tab and the driver of the vert stops me and asks about the "BORLA" hat. "What do have Borla's on?" I told him my 02 vette. he said "cool". Then he asked me a question.... "When I'm in my vette...people keep waving at me. and I don't know who they are? What should I do??" I asked him if the "wavers" were other vettes...he said "yes" I told him just wave back!!! It's a vette thing.

So all this time he was getting paranoid? Kind of like The Bourne Identity? WHO AM I? And why do all these people seem to know me.

Glad you could clear that up for him - it must have been quite a relief.



On the other hand....DUUUUUUUUUUUUH

It's hard to imagine that there are Vette owners out there who do not know about the wave, but this is proof positive. You'd think he would have figured it out on his own though.
