New Corvette Owner- and thanks to the Members here

[Zarkonan]

Hi!

Several months ago i posted a topic asking for advice on buying a corvette for the first time. I recieved lots of help for which I would like to thank all of you. Moreover, the forum discussions in general have been very helpful. Well, I finally took the plunge last night after months of searching for exactly what i wanted:

1980 L-82 Black Corvette, red interior, 22k miles

Man i love this car...

Hi: Glad to hear that you got a decent used 'Vette. When I went out to look for my first one, I couldn't believe what I found. People really mess up these nice cars. I looked at a ton of used ones & finally opted for a pretty nice one that was a Demo at a dealership. Good luck with your 'vette.

Peace: Dave (From one local boy..............to another)

corvettes are VERY popular leased cars...

in the DC area anyway. To people with the leased version, in general, its a fad-mobile.

Don't let this get you down, wave to every C5 owner you see cause there are a considerable number of them who own their car (more than those who lease) and are proud to be vetters.

A lot of vette owners don't know that they are buying into a secret society of waving nutcases (some have even been known to wave at fire hydrants) :eek

BINGO! AussieWithFlare hit it right on the nose, a lot of them are leased cars and its a trendy thing or they have their first vette and just don't realize this secret society thing we do! I met a lady with her first vette (1998) and she asked why people were waving at her, after explaining it to her, shes a waving fool now.

Don't stop waving, it catches on, sorry I couldn't spell contageous.

The Wave:
I wave at every Corvette I can, not the driver. For me, this is a respect for the Corvette thing...IF the driver waves back, I know my wave has touched another heart of a true Corvette enthusiast....but the 'vette gets my wave first.
