For all you guys that still have icky weather - sorry! I got some good driving time in this weekend. Great weather - sunny, temperature in the low '70's, top down, side pipes blaring (talk louder, I still can't hear you LOL). I saw 2 other C3's on Saturday - didn't get a wave back from either Angry. Now I expected that from the 3 C5's I saw, but from other C3's? That just ain't right..

John, I'd LOVE to wave back atcha, but . . . see my recent post under chit-chat.  It won't happen anytime soon. Cry 
 
Good for you!  Wave like crazy next time and make them feel like the low-lifes they are.

Serves ya right fer bashin my fellow C5 buds.... I wave at em all. We've had this debate before. It's not the model its the PASSION. Don't worry John I don't hold a grudge... I'll still continue to wave til they puke...

Vette(s):
SOLD - "The Toy" - '70 Convertible
SOLD - "The Beast" - '90 ZR-1 (#682)
SOLD - "Betty" - '28 Ford Model A Tudor
SOLD - "BLKBRRD" - '78 Pontiac Trans Am
"BLUBYU" - '04 Coupe
The best I was able to do was backing "The Toy" and "The Beast" out of the garage and let 'em rumble on the driveway for a bit.  Still too much MNDOT crud on the roads to venture out.  Unhappy

Vette(s): 1974, 454 with 4 on the floor, matching numbers.
I got out myself it was around 50 degrees, I was letting the big brute clear itself out (at about 75mph), I saw a white C-3 coming at me, I was so excited that I threw my whole arm out the window to wave.
Well at that speed and at my age, the wind almost dislocated my shoulder Ouch. Hey, at least he did wave back Thumbs%20Up 
I'll be out again as son as my shoulder feels better. Rolling%20On%20The%20Floor%20Laughing

I'm hoping to get her outta the garage for a drive to work today.  And ya, its sad when a C3 doesn't wave back. I never get a wave back from C5 owners, guess their just too good for me Ouch
