Daytona Beach

The wife and I were in Daytona Beach this past weekend doing one of our annual reptile shows. We saw several vettes driving along the main drag (Atlantic Ave.), but it surprised me that ALL but one were C4s. And that lone exception was a C6. Must have seen a dozen all total the short time we were near or on the road.

Sure had me missing the Z seeing those Corvettes driving by.... It's been over a WEEK now since I have been able to drive mine.

I just want to take my C4 around the Daytona track for a few laps.

Did ya still wave Rich? I know I find myself waving when we're in the Armada

. Don't get any waves back though.?

Well no, we didn't wave. But curious you mention that because I have seen LOTS of people in non-Corvettes that would wave at us while we are in one of our vettes.

I still try to wave. I am going to put corvetteflorida.com on my back window and the MCCC license plate frame on. Maybe then they might wave back.

I have had vettes since 1961 and have seen the "brotherhood" decline over the years. When vettes were few and far between you felt part of a special group if you had one and always waved or gave a thumbs up, but over the years, as production increased, more and more people who were not true enthusiasts got vettes. I have especially noticed the wave disappear over the past 10 years. My waves have actually brought angry stares from other vette drivers.

I will keep waving any way, just out of habit.

Maybe you need to move to my neck of the woods. Corvettes are still relatively rare around here and pretty much an event to see another one on the road. Most will wave, but some will not. Might not even be their fault as not everyone pays a lot of attention to other traffic.
