Waving - - I wave to most anybody I think is looking. Even if I think I might be getting negative attention; I still wave. What's the harm, and it is very disarming to most.

True story. When we first moved out here from the city there was a guy who drove by and actually hollered out the window of his pick-up truck. Nothing profane, but definitely a we-don't-need-no-city-folk type insult. It happened twice, and both times I smiled and waved from the seat of my lawn tractor, pretending the shout I heard was a "hello neighbor."

That was at least 10 years ago, and it hasn't happened since.

On the side - - the skateboard-like feel of the Corvette might be the consequence of an intentionally tight suspension. Some afficianados of handling go so far as to replace the rubber suspension bushings with brass. It's a good amount of work, they wear out pretty fast requiring regular replacement, and on anything but the smoothest surface most people would not like the feel - - but the resultant handling and feel on smooth pavement is incredible. I did it to a 1972 455 Firebird. You could feel every pebble on the pavement, but the car dove into and stayed rock solid level in corners like nothing you could get off of any production line in the world.
