Default C7 wave

Got my first C7 wave this afternoon. Had the 427 out for a drive eastbound over Loveland pass when just before A-Basin ski area a westbound C7 came around the curve ahead. It was camouflaged just like the spy pictures in the C7 forum. We both waved at the same time. He obviously knew I knew what he was driving!

Stopped at A-Basin to see the snow conditions first hand. Learned they will be opening this Wed with one run of manmade snow.

Very, very clever! Was out again today and had another encounter with a camouflaged car at the top of Vail pass. No idea what it was but not a C7.

Man, you should have whipped it around and taken him on to see if he could outrun you!

So, you're saying that a new 2014 C7 Corvette was out driving around in Vail, Colorado two days ago?
