I always wave and very rarely do I not get a wave back.

Save the Wave
Here in good ole Tennessee we get a wave back nearly all the time unless they didn't see you in time

Wife and I both wave. I have also found that a lot of Harley riders give me the thumbs up. Both are American icons so I get it.

I think that 'part' of the reason some folks don't wave is they are not TRUE Corvette folks like the majority of us are here on the Forum. We UNDERSTAND, they just have a car they think is sharp and don't understand all that comes with it.....or they could just be rude snobs!

And for those who think the wave is dying, I'd estimate the wave return rate is about the same as when I purchased my first two Vettes back in the 70s. Folks thought the wave was dying back then too

we're new at this too, but during our sunday drive , someone held up a V over the steering wheel..i said it was a peace symbol/how did he know that I am an old hippy? my wife said it was a V because of the wings on the front. She insisted that i use the V too! so i pulled into the kangaroo and bought her a cup of ice and a mini bottle of wine I told her i just flash my lights because it's quicker.
