Default snubbed by C6

I drove my Z to Atlanta from Miami last week. Had a blast, met some fellow vette owners, got more waves than I ever have in Miami. Drove back home yesterday for the hurricane. On 75 South, a yellow C6 comes rushing up behind me, gets beside, points at my car and gives me the thumbs DOWN. Hope thats not an omen of things to come. The Z ran perfect the whole trip.

I'm sure this guy represents a very small minority of C6 owners.

I bet it's the 1st Vette they ever owned and the dealer told them they could smoke a Z06. Same thing happened with the new Cobra's. When I went to a Ford dealership to pickup a part I needed for my daily driver in my Vette, a sales person seen my Vette and said the new Cobra stock could hand me my AZZ! That was before the H/C packages

Here we go. We are now sounding like all the C4 owners now. Who cares if a C6 or any other vetter for that matter doesn't acknowledge a WAVE?

Did you read the post? It's not that he didn't acknowledge the wave, it was the way he did it I thought was funny.

Yeah no waving is fine, and model year is really irrelevant, but a thumbs down from another vette is just dumb.

I'd of returned it with a select finger pointing upward.

What a 'tard.

On my way to Orlando yesterday, while I was on I-95 I wave to a Silver C5 with a RACEYEA tag on it. Don't know if he saw me wave, but I always try to wave C1-C6.

I'm amazed people would pay that kind of change to be 1st out of the gate in owning one. They can give me all the hand signals they want because I know the difference in what they paid and what I gave for my 2004 TR Coupe this summer!! This model change gave us one the best bargains for C5's I have ever known. That represents a ton of mods.
