Default First C6 wave!

Coming into work this morning I got behind a mag red C5 vert. As soon as he saw me he pulled into the right land and slowed down and got beside me. Arm out the window, thumbs up, and a question gesture, like "is this the first" or something like that. Big smiles on both ends and a wave back! That was the first Vette I had seen, although I have been paying a bit more attention to the road, and all the new do dads. The wave is alive and well.

But...but...but...I was told the C6 looks like a Viper. Thus, he shouldn't have known to wave. Was I told wrong?
