Spotted lots of Vettes heading south on I-15 Murietta\Temecula area Sunday afternoon around 4 pm on my way to Riverside coming from Simpsons Nursery, I counted 6 yellow C6's, 3 or 4 various color C6's and a couple C5's, not all running together.

I saw 1 black, 1 JSB and 1 silver C6 Z on Nohl Ranch Road over the weekend, all waved. Also saw an EB and a black C5 Z last week in the same area. Were any of these you, tech?

Saw a black C6 with a female driver going east on Santa Ana Cyn Rd around 345pm and saw a EB C5 going north on Weir Canyon at about 420pm today. Gave both the wave. Don't think the woman waved and not sure if the guy in the EB did or not as we were going the opposite way and I was driving a bit fast.

Most women don't wave unless I'm with my wife. Weird...

I met my neighbor this morning, a brand new black c6. Hot looking car. Met the owner too, nice guy, hoping that I found a wrenching buddy. Said he was a member here, maybe he'll see this? Sorry bout your GTO, but I'm glad it brought you such a beautiful replacement!

I don't think I have ever gotten a wave back from a female driver in a corvette. Maybe needavette can chime in here as to why that is?
