Vette(s): Used to own a 1979 Corvette now owned by JB79

I passed a C6 on the road for the first time the other day while in my C3.  Unfortunately, it was on a 4 lane divided highway, so we weren't really close enough for a wave.   I waved, but I'm not sure if he was even looking.

It will be interesting to see how many C6 drivers wave.  My theory is, as usual, if they are first time Vette owners, they won't wave.  If they are a true enthusiast, they will!

Let us know if you've gotten any waves from C6s!

Big Adam,

If C5 drivers are any indication (in South FL, anyway), there may not be much hope. Again, it's not every C5 owner.

Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!

I passed a C3 yesterday, and a block later a C5.  I waved, no wave back.

Of course I'm going to forgive them.  The fact my windows were up would make it hard to see the wave.  Well, that and the fact I was in my Caravan minivan

I saw my first C6 yesterday.  A silver one and I thought it looks good... better than in the pictures I've seen.  Being in my Vette,  I waved at the driver; no wave back, just a blank stare !   Nice car, lousy owner.

I haven't received any waves from C6s. Most of the drivers are too busy talking on the phone...
