So I have my wife wanting her own Vette now so badly, she told me she was waving at Vettes today from her Trailblazer! So if you are driving around Northern burbs of Chicago, and see some crazy lady waving at you from a sky blue Trailblazer, make her day and wave back! We need to pay off something before looking for one for her!

Funny... I had some hot blond wave at me today but she was driving a Jag. I think she was using my car to get to me!

I always try to wave. A few days ago I waved to a bright red vert only to realize too late that I was in my SUV. I hope they didn't spend too long trying to think of who they know with a silver Equinox.:bb

My wife has really gotten into the whole Vette lifestyle, we have attended a few events and she really has enjoyed the comroderie that we have experienced. So much so that now she has me looking for a Vette for her to enjoy next spring. I joked about her waving to other Vette owners from her Trailblazer in the original post, But I too have gotten caught waving from my work truck. It seems second nature when you see an approaching Vette you wave....but then you realize you aren't in your Vette, and you get some strange looks
So if you get waves from people not in a Vette, Wave back, we might just be starting something!

Last weekend running around Long Beach and down PCH, I saw seven 'Vettes, C6's and C5's, waved seven times and got back seven waves. 100% !!

If I'm on the sidewalk and see a 'Vette, I wave! Recognition factor goes up if I have on a 'Vette hat or T-shirt, though.
