Default Wave



Here in Arlington, Tx, I guess most of the vette drivers cant see very well, because hardly anyone waves back,,,,,Myself and my wife were turning into a retail establishment, so i had to practically stop side by side of a guy driving a C6, i gave a wave, but he just glared at me, so i politely went on my way. oh well not a problem, im happy with what i got.

Its Texas. The most smug people I have ever met always turn out to be from there.

Sorry to offend anyone who is not a d-bag from Texas.

A C6 GS followed me for several miles on !-10 in Phoenix Wednesday evening. Then he pulled up next to me and went ahead in traffic. While next to me for almost a minute, he never even glanced to the left let alone waved. Some people need a little toilet training!

If you own a GS you can do that.

I always give the wave, I would say I get it back about 95% of the time.

I wave as often as possible, some times I miss a corvette going by, try to wave. Here in Milwaukee not as many have waved as they did in Dallas, go figure?
Perhaps I don't drive my C5 enough........work work work!

I jumped on the bypass one night in my vette and this car came up behind me and was right on my tail with blinding HID lights and just stayed there so I was like ok... and downshifted and took off to lets say just barely past the limit and this car behind me was still right there. I was thinkingt myself, just what the heck is back there?

So after we cleared traffic (that was at sub limits speeds) I change lanes to let him pass. I yellow C6 pulls up next to me and is all waves and smiles so I just laughed and waved back.

Just about every corvette driver I see in Kansas waves no matter what year. It's kinda nice

I waved at someone with a torch red z06 C5 the other day in VA. I got two middle fingers in return. One from the driver and one from a female passenger. They were in their 40s maybe 50s. I haven't waved to anything but C6s ever since. It's like being mentally scarred.. horrible

People around these parts are just not into that I guess. I used to be stationed down south for the latter part of my career and there was more courtesy about the wave regardless of series. So I have gotten tired of trying to get a wave out of anyone up in these parts. I may just giving the ol' one finger salute

In Joisey, I doubt you're getting a wave... more like a 1 finger salute...
