Default Gave my first wave....

...to a C6; first one I've seen on the road. Got a good wave back. The minute I saw him in my rear view mirror I knew it was a C6. No bashing, but for right now I'm glad I took my name off the dealers list for one and upgraded from a '99 to an '03. They will have to grow on me, and get the first year bugs out, before I consider "upgrading".

I waved at a C6 two weekends ago - first one I have seen on the road also. Was going to KC and like you, I knew what it was when it came up from behind. Wasn't in my Vette at the time, and he was moving along at a good clip.

Default C6 waves at C5

My buddy who owns a 50th said a C6 passed him and was waving enthusiastically. This is in little Redding, California.

I haven’t seen a 6 up-close-and-personal yet, but if this guy is a local I can’t wait to see his.

Save the wave
