Some Corvette owners here seem more likely to hit other Corvette owners with the stone tablets than to follow the Commandments inscribed thereon

The only way to get Corvette owner to stop fighting amongst themselves is to have a Porsche owner show up....

Bless me forum, for I have sinned. I have broken the 5th commandment. In a weak moment, I brought my Corvette to a touch-less car wash to remove 800 miles of winter salt spray...

I passed a white C7 in Milton GA today (me driving my 61) on my way to my kid's basketball practice. I stuck my hand out the window and gave a big wave. I got a blank stare in response.

I give up waving to the late model guys. I almost never get the wave back.

Keep waving -- eventually they'll get the idea. Thanks for the reminders, Bimmerborn!

[QUOTE=bimmerborn;1585699022]





these words are to the point. I have driven vets for the past 16 years and in all those years just to acknowledge a fellow vet owner with a wave is a sign of regard for our fellow man which is hard to come by these days.
