Is the wave dead?

Goes both ways. . . They be right about that one. . . . Sometimes a mexican standoff to see who waves first.

I was stopped at a light in my '64 roadster yesterday and a very attractive woman in a white C7 made a point of stopping next to me and waving with a smile before pulling forward. Thanks, but I'll continue to wave just to be safe!

I'm a C7 owner and new to the Corvette fold. Can't say I was ever a "vette" guy, but I was always into cars, and yes, I can identify a C1 - or most any car - from a distance. However, being that I never owned a Corvette, and did not know any people that did, I had no idea why I was being waved at by fellow Vette owners. It did not take too long to figure it out, so my transgressions were short lived. So, to those who I ignored during my first two months of ownership, sorry!

Funny story... I also have a motorhome and a Jeep Wrangler, both vehicles that also have a wave between fellow owners. My wife is a little shy and keeps to herself - the first time she took a ride in the Vette with me and I waved to a fellow Vette guy, she looked at me and said "really?!?! Can't you own a single vehicle that we don't have to wave to people in???" Made me laugh!

A buddy of mine in his 67 coupe and I in my 60 drove 100 miles to a car show today. We didn't enter but went just for the cruise in nice weather. On the way, we exchanged waves with a C-1, C-5, C-6, a 60's Austin Healey and a MGA. People in our area almost always wave at other old cars.

I wave at ALL Corvettes if a see them. My wife is my spotter when she is with me. I tease her about the fact that BMW (she has a 650) drivers never wave at each other.
I also give the wave or thumbs up to other neat cars. I like them all.

As far as the load of ****, I was thinking about it and I also think that because the (what I call newer Corvettes) C5 and newer don't wave is because they have there windows up and are setting in the A/C and don't want to roll down there windows and loose that cool air from there A/C. That may also be a factor in why they do not wave. True or not you C5 and newer guys

Was out yesterday and passed (or caught up with) four Vettes. Three of the four waived back.
Was stopped in traffic at a light and a guy in a brand new Cadillac ATS rolled down his passenger window and said "Now that's a beautiful car."
"Thank you" came the reply.... kind of made my day.
