Crusty ole guys don't know about our rad-car sisterhood . I can say that I don't know ANY women that have vettes that are garage queens - everyone I know drives the snot out of their cars (as I do).
Sorry I'm a woman and my car is a garage queen.... but when I drive it I drive it HARD! lol

I have too many options of what to drive. Like you I have a Dually a Ford... but that truck rocks. So I drive that most weekends to ride the one horse power vehicle it's towing.

I know off topic but I'm sure I'm not the norm of people who doesn't get to drive their vette as much as it should be driven!

I try to always wave. I've had a lot of Camaros wave, had a Cobalt SS/Supercharged waved and now Vette wave. I think it's if your a car guy or gal and appreciate a good looking car you wave if your driving or have that type of car or not.

Maybe they can't see you waving??? LOL

Funny stuff.
Hmm. I never see that. Maybe it's how you're looking at them?

For the record, I wave at every Corvette I see just in an effort to keep the gesture alive. I get a wave back about 75% of the time.
Funny, I drive MY C7 GS BRM that I ordered (my husband couldn't care less about driving the Vette) I also know exactly what I am driving and even know how to use the clutch! See that? Oh and when I do drive her, its all ***** out! AND I wave ALL THE TIME!

You go Girl!

The thought of a woman driving "***** out" in a Vette has given me pause..

Now I'm just sitting here.

Yes. Too many failures to wave results in activation of the self destruct sequence.

I always wave and usually get the return wave. I really don't care if they wave back but I always wave.
