I hope you were texting in your car when you sent this.

If not, you're in violation of the rule in post #13!

Default wave

Rate all the vehicles and give them a 1-10 scoring. Require everyone to put a 4" sticker in the upper corner of their windsheild. You can only wave to the numbers above yours. If a higher number waves to a lower number, they lose one point and have to lower their number for 30 days.

12. Only Vette owners that actually drive their cars are allowed to wave. Garage art car owners are not allowed.

That should cut down on 99% of the waving and Corvette Wave threads here.

BTW, how much oil should I put in my Vette when I change the oil?

There, might as well incorporate several other oft-posted useless topics into this one.

And which tires are the best for corvettes and how wide of a tire can you run on a base c6 without it sticking out?

How much heavier are repo wheels than stock wheels?

That was true when it was called "Quick Silver" not "Blade Silver". Sorry, your "Silver" has been demoted!

BTW....we all know you can't get any faster than "Supersonic".

Well of course, silly. In the garage, the only people they would be waving to would be their own reflection in the mirrors.

I haven't actually changed my oil yet, but when I do, I'm just gonna pour 6 or 7 quarts in and then go out and run 'er hard with the dipstick out. Figger the foam from the crank windage will stop overflowing when the oil reaches the correct level.

If it's a Vette I wave, even if it's one of those kids pedal cars.

Everyone should be required to wave at yellow cars since no one can complain that they didn't see it. Unlike silver & white which blend in to most backgrounds and really dark colors that look like Trans Ams coming at you, except in really good light... :

Only time I waved to a Yellow Vert was to say goodbye as he left me in the dust.
Right Derwin.

C4 can wave to C6 but can not expect a return wave.

Here's me waving at more than 150 Corvettes all within view of me. I think I broke a few rules as I had to be be waving at at least 75 base coupes when this pic was snapped.

I believe Velocity Yellow is by far the fastest. It's right there in the name. Quicksilver was false advertisement and It was demoted to Blade Silver.
