Subject: Save the Wave by VB96VetteCE on 2006/9/23 5:06:33 I live in Virginia Beach, VA and have recently conducted a survey of Corvette drivers to see what percentage of drivers will wave when presented with a wave first. The statistic was somewhat disappointing, to say the least. Of 200 drivers I passed, only 46 waved back to me. That is only 23%!!!!!!!!!!!! Corvette owners, realize the legacy they are operating their vehicles under, well built American Sports cars only come in one variety, the Corvette. That legacy has some obligations that owners of these marvelous vehicles should subscribe. The least of which is to wave back at someone you see driving the World's best sports car. You don't see broken down Harleys beside the road. That is because the owner would rather push it uphill five miles through rain sleet or hail before leaving it on the road like a common crotch rocket. The same holds true for the Corvette, so if you see someone wave at you, you should PROUDLY wave back. Driving a Vette is one of the finer pleasures in the world and what are we showing new owners if we don't respect the tradition of the wave. What is compromised in one generation is lost in the next. SAVE THE WAVE!!!!! |
