It's a Blue 65-ish coupe... and no, it doesn't get my blod boiling, I just think he's a jerk. And I won't wave at him anymore...
If his comment ever did bother me, I know the feeling of "shame" would disappear the moment I started up my C5 and it idled right away, vice waiting for some carb to come off the choke.
I would hunt his *** down and show him some lights, but I don't want that whole hassle with trying to race in the morning rush on surface streets, near an elementary school, yada, yada, yada...
And for the locals, the incident takes place at about 8:00 to 8:30 near the corner of 70th and El Cajon Blvd on the way to I-8.

Some people don't have Vettes that should...others have Vettes that shouldn't.
And they say birth control isn't a good thing...

I often tell my friends, that Corvettes are special, but owning one doesn't make YOU special. He's obviously a jerk-off and not worth your time or trouble. Consider the source.
Here's one for ya' from Chandler Arizona!

What could possess a person to say something like that? He must be a real piece of work.

Sounds like the guy is a piece of work.
I wave first whether I'm in my mid-year or my C5. I even wave at Corvettes when I'm driving mrs.savewave's 4x4 truck. She says that's dumb because the folks I'm waving to don't know I'm a Corvette owner. No, but I know.

Mid-years are nice looking cars. And I'll try to be understanding and just say he's probably had most of his brain cells jarred loose from riding in one.
Other than that, I'd vote for a one-finger wave next time.
