Default The Wave

I got my first wave today from a red c5 vert. For all you new guys (like me), you just don't realize how cool it is until it actually happens to you.

I gave the two-fingered 'peace' flash/wave to a black coupe today... the guy looked at me like I was from Mars!

(I'm actually from Cleveland . . .)

Saw four Vettes around the Valley the other day and got four waves...it's a good feeling for a first time Vette owner.

I saw four Corvettes in Atlanta yesterday and received four waves. I'm batting 100%.

Isn't Mars a suburb of Cleveland?

Theels12588....Good on you! Don't be reserved...give the wave first and don't feel bad if they don't wave back...it happens.

Before I bought my first Vette (1965 Roadster) 4 years ago I never had heard of the "wave" but quickly caught on, I am guessing I get the wave returned 90% of the time and find it to one of the many great things about owning a Vette.

It is cool! After driving my car for 7 weeks I finally got not only my first, but my second wave on Wed. I was thrilled....I was starting to get a complex!
