Today I had the tops off cruising into a meeting. I got off the highway and this older guy(I would guess in his 70s) pulled up in a sweet looking red C5 Z06. He actually rolled down the window to tell me, "you got a real nice car there son" along with a thumbs up. My jaw dropped to the floorboard, it felt nice coming from a vette guy cuz too often we do not get the respect they should give us.

I 100% agree. I remember all the time when I was young yelling at sports/muscle cars to do burnouts. A couple times I've heard kids yelling to do a burnout, or they'll be motioning me to spin my tires with their hands.Originally posted by 02 WS6

Yea I remember being pulled over by a cop (thinking i was speeding or something) and having the cop talk to me about my car and how cool it looks and sounds. I had nothing better to do that day just out for a sunday stroll and was better then a ticket.
all the time i have older people come up to me and talk about wishing they never got rid of their camaro/firebirds.I LOVE COBRA'S -
