When these guys don't give the wave they only show that they are not real Vette people. Censored Gene

 Supose  to be 85 degrees here today( may break record for high).  Took ol'girl out for a spin yesterday and got a way back from a C5.  It all depends on who's behind the wheel?  Passion, or no passion?  That is the question!

All the snow is gone in Toronto, now just have to wait a month till the eight inches of salt disappears.
 
All Vettes wave at me. Just wondering is it still a wave when I only see one finger.
 
Congrats on the new grand daughter Ray.

Well, it really sucks when you don't get a wave back!  I get a lot of waves when I'm in the C5, but not many in the C3 (maybe it's the gold color). Confused
But, I'll tell ya' what I do get................finally got my car runnin' took her out and got followed by a motorcycle cop all the way to my destination.  He didn't wave at me either! Darn! Ouch

I have to admit there have been some times when a Corvette passed me going the other way, waved, and then I noticed him. Too late to wave back. He probably thought I was an A-hole, but I just didn't see him in time.
 
There have been other times when I have waved at mid-80 Firebirds, thinking it was a C4, and they probably wondered who that was waving at them.SleepyGeek

Hey , don't feel sorry for us up here! It was 73 in Bismarck on Monday, the roads were clear and dry, and I took the vette out for a spin.   I saw a '76, waved, and they waved back.

Yeah, usually the older cars wave and the newer cars don't, unless they've been corvette people for awhile.   

I wave, and if they don't wave back it doesn't matter. I was just waving at the car anyway, not the people!     

That reminds me. I was in Fargo last month and it was about 4 degrees and there was over a foot of snow on the ground, and I saw a guy driving a '74 around. He had about 6 inches if snow on the rear deck, but he was out driving it anyway. More power to him!

Ditto, Terry!  We're FINALLY into the 70s here and my baby is sans radiator.  Cry The good news -- I should have a new one by Saturday. Clap Then with a little luck, it will be on the road by March 23d.  That is my oldest son's B-day and he wants to drive Penny to work (he's an Air Guard flight engineer who works with a bunch of pilots, none of whom drive a classic like this). I'd love to let him do it!  Hope she's back on the road by then. Happy motoring!
