lol

Welcome to the board Chris. If I see ya, I'll wave...

You'll get used the the vette real quick. Biggest trouble I had is not waving at Jeeps when I am in the Vette, and not waving at Vettes when I am in the Jeep... cause when you do either... no one will ever wave back at you since they are so much opposites...

I will say this though... you are right, lots of vette drivers out there dont wave. The Jeep community is much friendlier when it comes to acknowledging others.

thanx bud.. i cant wait to get my GHL Bullets on and then we can meet up and wreak some havoc
on edgewater commons haha. ill look forward to it, def a cruze/meet is in order before winter hits


EDIT: to all u wavers out there, i have a question.. a F-Body flickered his lights at me today and it caught me off guard, so i didnt flicker back cause he passed by already.. is this a common occurance? do F-bodys join in on "the wave" too, or was it just this particular nice/friendly guy just saying hi?
